Book of D: Hassan's Father the Bully

Amir spoke about the "flaws of pride and arrogance" as he told of a story about a magistrate and a villager named Bahlul. The magistrate is bullying the villagers so they will pay their taxes. Amir told how Bahlul tricked the magistrate by using the magistrate's arrogance against him. Little did Amir realize that in telling this story, he mimicked the magistrate's arrogance because of how he has been bullying his middle son, Hassan, into getting married. Hassan is 24 years old and enrolled at the University of Shahrekord to become a teacher. Hassan does not want to get married before obtaining his college degree. Moreover, Hassan prefers a marriage to someone he knows really well rather than an arranged marriage. Especially because in the nomadic culture, consanguineous marriage is still the preferred more. If Amir keeps harping on his son Hassan to hurry up and marry a girl, Amir will become the fool in his own life story. Amir will be the fool that other fathers will tell their children about. The story will still be about "flaws of pride and arrogance," but this time, Amir will be the magistrate who tries to bully his villagers, and Hassan will be Bahlul, only this time, Bahlul won't go home and go to sleep, leaving the magistrate high and dry. Hassan, as Bahlul, will leave the village - never to return.
