From the Paper:

"A "treacherous and complex journey": The significance of the relationship of Kip and Hana in "The English Patient" The relationship between Kip and Hana in "The English Patient", is not merely complex but also paradoxical. The core of the problem in their relationship is expressed by Caravaggio who implies that Hana has an ethical duty to prevent Kip from risking his life. Hana realizes Kip is treating her as a child, yet she is compassionate and aware of "the comfort she has given others" (126). Kip exhibits the traits of certainty, clarity and focus to which Hana is attracted."
