Sometimes, his methods and his motives are questionable and even his morals are questionable in the way he does things. But I think his intention is always to protect his daughter.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes his methods are questionable, and even his morals are questionable, but his intention is always to protect Sydney. So in that way I think he's a good parent.
I think a dad has to make his daughter feel that he's genuinely interested in what she's going through.
He's an innocent in a lot of ways. He's a very simple person who really doesn't have the resources or the strength, ultimately, to handle the situation.
It is the part of a fool to give advice to others and not himself to be on his guard.
I have my opinions about the way my father was. But they are my opinions, not necessarily the truth, and they are certainly not the whole spectrum of what this man was going through. It's my young, selfish interpretation of that person.
That he delights in the misery of others no man will confess, and yet what other motive can make a father cruel?
Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him.
A child is owed the greatest respect; if you have ever have something disgraceful in mind, don't ignore your son's tender years.
The highest duty of the man is not to his father, but to his wife; and for the sake of that woman he abandons all other earthly ties, should any of these happen to interfere with that relation.
You must understand, that for a daughter to protect her father's image is natural; Freud built a whole career around it.
