Why does Amir not want to see devotion in Hassan's eyes after the rape?

• A. He feels guilty and unworthy of Hassan's kindness
• B. He fears Hassan will reveal his guilt
• C. He doubts Hassan's love
• D. He wants Hassan to leave

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is guilt and self-worth in the wake of a moral failure. After the rape, Amir is overwhelmed by guilt for not protecting Hassan. Hassan’s devotion—his loyal, forgiving gaze—becomes a painful reminder of Amir’s betrayal. Amir doesn’t want to see that steadfast kindness because it highlights how unworthy Amir feels of Hassan’s loyalty. Seeing devotion would force him to confront the depth of his own failure, and he’d rather not face that reality. So the best answer is that he feels guilty and unworthy of Hassan’s kindness. The other options don’t fit because Hassan’s love isn’t something Amir doubts or wishes to provoke into leaving; the conflict is exactly about bearing and coming to terms with that allegiance in light of his guilt.
