Consequently Brother pushes Doodle to his limit and Doodles heart fails and he dies. This shows that selfish choices can hurt those who care about you. However, when his pride becomes blinding, Brother forces Doodle beyond his limits and is forced to accept the consequences.
Though loved by his brother, Doodle becomes an innocent victim of selfishness and pride. The bitter seed of shame that blossoms into the flower of pride strangles discernment and results in absolute inability to accept defeat. Brother was ashamed of Doodle immediately following his birth. Even after the Metamorphosis, Gregor still desires to be a responsible son of the parents and Grete's beloved brother.
Yet the family treats him as trash, something to throw away. People are intolerant to things that are different from them, and unable to vicariously see through the contents. A father typically provides support, solace, and strength for their children, but in The Death Of A Salesman we see an atypical version of this model. Willy becomes delusional and insane in a desperate attempt to provide for Biff and Happy. He has realized that he has failed them as a father and this creates the conflict.
A father is meant to be a source of dependency for his children, but this is a portrayal of the reverse. Willy being dependent on the children is a testament to the fact that relationships are not to be taken for face value.

In fact, Brother is so ashamed that his actions cause suffering for Doodle. Brother abandons Doodle.

In a single sentence, Sohrab lost all faith in Amir and hope for a brighter future than his troubled past.
Even by the end of the book, Sohrab could only barely muster a…. But, he's also unreliable because his memory is colored by his grief, guilt, and love. We've all heard warnings not to say bad things about dead people. Brother seems careful not to say anything bad about Doodle, and careful to say as many bad things about himself as possible.
It's easy to get caught up on Brother's guilty feelings and forget that he was a confused kid in a difficult situation. It's up to us to remember this and try to see beyond his point of view. We can remember that he was only six when Doodle was born, and only thirteen when Doodle die.
