Abstract

Abstract: This study investigates the literary typology of adolescent characters in Khaled Hosseini’s novels The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and And the Mountains Echoed. Drawing upon theories of developmental psychology, literary typology, and character studies, the research examines the ways in which adolescent protagonists are constructed as complex psychological entities whose experiences reflect both individual developmental processes and broader socio-cultural realities. Particular attention is paid to issues of identity formation, moral consciousness, trauma, resilience, interpersonal attachment, and psychological maturation. Through comparative textual analysis, the study identifies recurring character models that transcend individual narratives and function as representative patterns of adolescent development. The findings suggest that Hosseini’s adolescent characters embody a dynamic interplay between personal agency and external social forces, including war, displacement, social stratification, and family disruption. Consequently, adolescence emerges not merely as a biological stage of life but as a multidimensional psychological and cultural phenomenon. The study contributes to contemporary discussions of literary characterization by demonstrating how adolescent figures serve as vehicles for exploring questions of memory, belonging, ethical responsibility, and human resilience within modern fiction.
