In the novel The Kite Runner, how can servants portray their master's personality traits?

Ali is Baba's Hazara servant who is loyal and faithful to Baba's family throughout the novel. Similar to his master, Ali is also a compassionate individual who takes care of others. Baba is known as a caring man who helps the less fortunate, and Ali is also portrayed a generous person. He makes sure that both Hassan and Amir are protected and comfortable. Similar to Baba, Ali also demonstrates his strong will by refusing to stay at Baba's home. Despite Baba's pleas, Amir has made up his mind and respectfully declines to stay. Hassan also shares Baba's personality traits by displaying courage in the face of danger. Hassan bravely stands up to Assef and threatens to knock his eye out in order to protect himself and Amir. Hassan also shares Amir's affinity for literature and his intelligence. Hassan has the ability to grasp deeper concepts and shares Amir's vivid imagination.
