Pomegranate Tree In The Kite Runner
In the same way Hosseini explores the idea of social status as a “motif” to represent the various set up of classes. The “pomegranate tree” is an important symbol in the novel. It represents the carefree adventurous boy. Although the two boys are from different classes of Hazara and Pashtun; one can distinguish how the unique carving of “sultans of Kabul” into the “pomegranate tree” for them means they can bring friendship and unity when it is at its strongest ever. Hosseini’s novel invites the reader on a journey of love, struggle and friendship whereas Wilde’s play is a simple mockery these things reveal love, struggle and friendship to be the most trivial.
