Assef quotes

There is lots of evidence that we can use to show that Assef has demon-like qualities. For example when he is just about to rape Hassan he says, '...so it will always remind you of what I'm about to do'. Assef wants Amir to never forget this.
When he is talking about the executions he describes it as 'the show', which is very disturbing and shows that Assef takes pleasure in hurting and killing people.
'Assef was standing over them' this makes Assef seem like he looks down his nose at everyone and thinks he is better than them.
"You don't know the meaning of the word 'liberating' until you've done that..let the bullets fly' this shows us that death excites him, not what most people would class as liberating.
 Assef contradicts himself in the way he lives. He says he is religious but then does the things he does. 'Only stopped to eat and pray' suggests he is religious but then massacres people and puts on a 'show' to kill people. Which doesn't sound very religious to me. His head is not screwed on right..
