The figure of speech I'd like to think is hyperbole
Answer:
Amir's birth led to the death of his mother.
Explanation:
Khaled Hosseini's "The Kite Runner" is the story of Amir, a boy from Afghanistan who, more than 26 years later, recounts his childhood years. It also revolves around the theme of identity, belonging and the effects f the numerous traumatic events that he experienced.
Amir's relationship with his father is not the good and he also admitted to being the cause of it. For, Amir's mother had died while giving birth to Amir. Baba blamed him for taking away the life of his wife, even though she gave him a son too. He even stated in Chapter III "<em>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?</em>" Thus, Amir believed that Baba hated him for the death of his mother.
