摘 要：

《追风筝的人》是一部有关于背叛与救赎的文章。也可以将其称作是小说主人公阿米尔寻求自我本性的回忆录。整部作品的描述中，作者的字里行间无不充满了罪与救赎，也正是这样强烈的表达才深刻的体现了当时人们在社会动荡时期对人性道德的追求与对人本性中弱点的拯救。行文过程中，作者不仅仅是通过对人物性格的细腻刻画和对亲情友情的差异比较，也同时是在带有文化隐喻的意象表达上赋予了整部作品深厚的文化底蕴和民族精神，丰富了小说的主题。这样精准的叙说以求突出其主题意义，审美效果和其美学价值。本论文旨在通过对人物性格及其关系的分析以及对小说中有代表意义的突出的意象进行论述，从而更深层次的感受人性的真善美，也进一步体会本小说的内涵意所在。
