How is hassan treated in The Kite Runner?

He is treated in various ways by various different characters throughout the book. Amir treats him as a brother (ironic really) or anincredible close friend, though he doesn't realise the depth of his actions towards Hassan in a brotherly way when he is a child. Baba is surprisingly protective and kind to Hassan even though he is his servant's son, the true reason for this is revealed later in the book. Assef treats Hassan in a very racist and prejudiced way, perhaps almost as though he is an item rather than a person. Hope this helps a little. xx
