Amir can be cruel and self centered. Despite growing up with Hassan and knowing him all his life he views him as less and unintelligent. For example when Hassan solved riddles that Amir couldn't, Amir stopped reading them to Hassan because he didn't want Hassan who was illiterate to seem smarter than him.

Due to his privileged upbringing, Amir has a sense of superiority over Hassan, the son of his dad's servant, Ali. This can be seen various times when he makes fun of Hassan's lack of education, as well as when Amir pranks him. This is even more apparent when Baba praises Hassan. Amir acts rudely towards Hassan because the latter is getting what the former always wanted; acknowledgement from Baba. However, this only comes to show how Amir is still an immature child that grew up without a mother and was deprived of fatherly love for a really long time. The fact that Amir was restless and felt horrible after the events that took place in chapter 7 only reveal the fact that Amir is a good kid deep down with a conscience that only allows him to feel guilty and ashamed for what he let Hassan go through due to his selfish wishes.

We can see this in this quote from chapter 3 page 16:
"Because the truth of it was, I always felt like Baba hated me a little. And why not? After all, I had killed his beloved wife, his beautiful princess, hadn’t I? The least I could have done was to have had the decency to have turned out a little more like him. But I hadn’t turned out like him."

“When you kill a man, you steal a life,” Baba said. “You steal
his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When
you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you
cheat, you steal the right to fairness. Do you see?” (chapter 3, page 18)

It is clear that Baba doesn't really like Amir or even believe that he is really his son. In just the second chapter Amir sees a picture of Baba and Rahim khan, his father's best friend, holding him when he was born. he notices nobody is smiling and that he is holding Rahim's finger, not Baba's.

Amir is hard-headed and a tad selfish. For example, in ch. 7, he did not take a chance to protect Hassan from getting beat up  because he was afraid. He would try to convince himself he was just sacred rather than accepting he believes Hassan does not deserve his help. "I actually aspired to cowardice.... the real reason I was running was that Assef was right: ....Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay.." (Ch. 7, pg. 77)

Baba is always trying to change Amir into what he believes a man should be. He can't accept or love his son the way he is. He doesn't support his son reading or writing stories.
