Fathers from the Fiction world

A book lover always searches for a good story whether it is a fiction or a non-fiction one. There is always a character that keeps you hooked till the last page. Let me tell you about some famous fathers from the very famous books.

Book: King Lear by William Shakespeare

Father: King Lear

King Lear is a person revered by all but not b two of his daughters.  The deeds of his daughters dictated by greed, has always been a point of discussion amongst the literati. Seldom have we talked about the selflessness return of care. His affection for his two daughters was so strong that in spite of being deceived by one, he still expected the other to welcome him. This act of selflessness and caring without expecting much in return, can only be demonstrated by a parent and Lear proves it with his actions in the play.

Book: The Godfather by Mario Puzo

Father: Vito Corleone

The familial values of Vito Corleone and his love for kin within the freshly emerging American liberal lifestyle made everyone instantly fall for his Characteristic personality. He is an indomitable father figure who has the world in his fist and family in his arms. In spite of Fredo being weaker than his siblings, and a womaniser of sorts after reaching Vegas (much to his father’s disfavour), Vito never let him feel any less important.

Book: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin

Father: Mr. Bennet

The book defines how the Liberal parents should like, Mr. Bennet makes it to the list for being one of the most supportive parents in literature. So much so that he lets his daughter elope because he felt the need for her own mistakes and learn her own lessons!  What we love about him is his wit and humour and assumptions of a certain moral high ground to derive comic material from high ground to derive comic material from people’s daily activities.

Book: To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee

Father: Atticus Finch

Atticus finch, a father with two children, raises them namely Jem and Scout to fight for what is right and never turn their backs on people in trouble. The main plot of the story revolves around defending a treacherously accused black man for assaulting a white girl. The first thing that Atticus did was to set an example on his children by defending Tom’s (accused) case in the court. He teaches his children to love a person for their nature and not appearance.
