In the book The Kite Runner many
years before the confrontation between Amir and Assef over Sohrab, Assef had sexually
raped Sohrab's father Hassan. When Amir goes to get the boy he is set up against
Assef. Assef has Sohrab dressed like a girl. He also makes him dance and wear female
jewelry.
One of the dominant indicators that Sohrab has
been used for sexual play is the way that Assef holds him and takes the grapes in his
mouth. He wants Amir to know that he violated Sohrab
sexually.
Moving backwards to Sohrabs stay in the
orphanage, the reader learned that the Taliban had taken boys and girls from there to be
used for their own devices. Sohrab would have no trust in the idea of having to stay
any where such as an orphanage. Thinking that he would be returned to one from which he
could return to Assef's hands, he decides it would be better to end his
life.
