The tragic flaw of the protagonist is envy:
"The book tells the story of Amir, growing up in Kabul, Afghanistan, during the seventies. His father is rich, and his best friend is the similarly aged son of their servant. Together they have lots of fond childhood memories, especially memories to do with flying kites. However, Amir is always envious for his father's love, feeling the servant's child, Hassan, gets too much of it. And while Hassan is always loyal to the Amir the reverse does not apply, and when put to the test Amir betrays Hassan in a very tragic way. The rest of the book follows Amir as he tries to redeem himself, while in the background we get to hear of all the calamities that befell Afghanistan as the story unfolds all the way to post 11/9 Afghanistan.
