Society taught religious/social decisions.
Amir felt like master of Hassan
Hassan illiterate
Amir Hassan's master but he felt like he was his brother so he was confused. Amir justifies it by saying just a servant.  Treats Hassan like a servant when convenience. Amir responds selfishly out of fear. Amir frustrated because Hassan lived and treated like a servant, but also gets all of Baba's presents and Baba's treatment is like family.

Confusion
Baba forgives for stealing money even though he says it's the biggest sin
Rape scene whether to step in or not
Baba fixes Hassan's harelip

Frustration:
