Abstract
The present research article examines how Khaled Hosseini’s characters in The Kite Runner, are engulfed in existential crisis. The concept of existential crisis depicted by influential existentialists will be used to discuss the matter. When people face existential crisis they start seeing the deeper sight of life in the universe. There are certain moments in an individual's lifetime when they search for the real value and meaning during existence. The repetition of their worldly activities makes them tedious at a certain point and fails to lend them comforts. Hence they set out for some higher goals during their life. The existentialists’ urges one to understand the truth of life that there are no inherent purposes in life rather one has to set it.
