            Amir finally symbolizes a father: the sun, the spirit or the masculine principle, when he decides to adopt Sohrab. When he visits the different lawyers and adoption agencies and is told the same disappointing news, Amir feels the same rejection all over again, like when he was trying to conceive a child with Soraya. However, God forgives through his judgment and mercy and the suffering ends because good will triumph over evil and Amir is rewarded in the end.
This picture depicts the ideal family that Amir and Soraya imagine to have in the future with Sohrab. Little do they know that this will take years to form a bond after Amir goes back on his promise with Sohrab and loses his trust. Sohrab choses not to speak for over a year, which puts much stress on Soraya and Amir. This brings in the theme of confusion and uncertainty that were discussed when watching "A Serious Man." Amir and Soraya are probably wondering can this problem every we solved and is this adoption really God's plan because things aren't going as planned. However, everything will eventually turn out fine after giving space and time to develop and rekindle the family relationship.
