ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this research is to examine single parenthood issues as shown by the character of Baba in the novel The Kite Runner through the lens of an individual psychological approach. The qualitative research method is used in this study. There are two sorts of data sources, which are the primary data source and the secondary data source, respectively. The novel The Kite Runner, written by Khaled Hosseini, serves as the primary source of information. The secondary data sources are items that are relevant to this research, such as dictionaries, books, and websites, among other things. Reading, deciding which character will be investigated, taking notes on relevant points, and forming conclusions are the techniques used in this research for data collection. The following are the conclusions reached by the researcher after doing an examination of the novel's structural aspects as well as its individual psychology. First, based on the novel's structural aspects, it demonstrates that character and characterization, setting, plot, point of view, topic, and style are all interconnected and cannot be separated since they all have a relationship with one another and with one another's characters. As a result, these elements contribute to the novel's attraction as a read. Second, the author's portrayal of single parenthood is founded on an examination of individual psychology, which is supported by research. It illustrates some of the difficulties that a single parent has, such as financial difficulties, social difficulties, and personal restrictions.

SUMMARY:
In the introduction, we explored Khalid hosseini's work Kite Runner, which is set in Afghanistan and published in the United States. Hosseini was informed by a 1999 news report that the Taliban had banned kite flying in Afghanistan. Reminiscences of his upbringing in Afghanistan were brought back to him by the news. The Kite Runner narrates the storey of two young boys, Amir and Hassan, who work for Amir as his servant. In the first part of the storey, Hosseini concentrates mostly on the relationship between the two boys. To atone for his mistakes, Amir tries to save the son of his friend Hassan. Khaled Hosseini's book The Kite Runner is one of the best-known pieces of literature created by Afghan-Americans. As part of the book's tenth anniversary party in 2013, Bloomsbury reissued the book first released by Riverhead Books in 2003. It centres with family, friendship, betrayal, love and redemption among other things. Dedicated Hassan, a Hazara, Shia, and harelipped child, had been faithful to Amir for many years but had been deceived by Amir, a Pashtun and Sunni Muslim teenager. It was because of a horrible accident that happened after the kite fighting competition. "The Kite Runner," by Khaleed Hosseini, presents a storey of friendship, dedication, brutality, the desire for acceptance and atonement, and survival among other things. This paper is based on this novel."

1 INTRODUCTION:
In 2011, Khaled Hosseini published his first novel, The Kite Runner, which was set in Afghanistan and written in the United States. According to a news article from 1999, Hosseini learned that the Taliban had prohibited the activity of kite flying in Afghanistan. The news brought back memories of his childhood in Afghanistan, when he used to participate in this type of activity. He considered it to be cruel and unfair to the children, and this incident piqued his curiosity, prompting him to write a short narrative about two boys who enjoyed flying kites. As a result of a suggestion from one of his friends, he began working on expanding this short tale into a novel in March 2001. Eventually, this work was released in 2003, and it has since gained widespread acclaim, having been translated into other languages. The Kite Runner i...
