Thesis

Blindness or the inability to accept the harsh reality is present in all of the three stories. It is presented by the authors in a way that conveys a lesson for the reader to be applied to their everyday life.

The stories reveal the hardships of life from which a person wants to run away to be negligent, but in the end he has to admit the reality. This paper has identified the similarity of the stories, which is the main characters' negligence to the hard realities of their lives.

Comparison

The central theme of Yann Martel's Life of Pi concerns the religion and human faith in God. However, the novel pointedly refrains from advocating any single religious faith over another. Instead, the novel investigates the nature of religious faith itself. This theme is embodied most clearly in the novel's leading role, Pi Patel, who is a devout follower of three very different religions. (Boyagoda, 69)

Aristotle considered Oedipus Tyrannus, the supreme example of tragic drama and modeled his theory of tragedy on it. The plot is methodically incorporated with the characterization of Oedipus, for it is he who impels the activity ahead in his anxiety for Thebes, his individual rashness, and his ignorance of his past. His flaws are a warm temper and impulsiveness, but without those traits his heroic course of self-discovery would not ever occur.

The Kite Runner is Khaled Hosseini's first novel. Born in Kabul, Hosseini sketches powerfully his own knowledge to conceive the setting for the novel; though the individual characters are fictional. Hosseini's displays the plot of chronicled realism, as the modern era encompasses designated days — for chronological correctness, around the time of the changing government of Afghanistan. The novel's comprises of some confrontations that remind us for the individuals who were unjustly victimized at the time of 1980's.

Pi has studied and memorized the stories of all the various incarnations of the Hindu gods, maintaining temples in his home to many of them. He also possesses a crucifix and a rosary, going to church on Sundays and praying to Jesus. Lastly, he owns and proudly uses a prayer rug, observing the call to prayer several times a day as a devoted Muslim. By comfortably following three of the world's major religions, Pi represents not just the possibility of peaceful coexistence between different faiths but also the belief that different religions are merely alternative paths to the same destination. (Dwyer, 9)

The specific doctrines of Pi's three faiths make very little difference to him. When comparing these religions to one another, Pi seems to conclude in his innocence that there need not any conflict between them. For him, each religion simply emphasizes what is most powerful and true in the others according to its own strengths. The religions resemble different chapters of one very long book, each chapter setting up and feeding into the next. The novel contrasts Pi's easy acceptance of his three faiths with the competition and arguments between the leaders of those faiths. (Boyagoda, 69)
