He feels this way with his mistress, Alberta, because she does not know much of him or his past, unlike Rose.

Grandma believes Grandpa didn’t love her because he had Lamartine in his life.

Herrick uses empathy to help us understand why old bill has no connection with society, old bill suffers trauma after the loss of his daughter and wife and now exiles himself from society not being able to bear the thought of carrying on life without them. Old bill finally develops a relationship becoming almost like a “fatherly figure “with billy “I like the kid...I like his company" juxtaposing the lack of love and relationship between Billy and his real father. Herrick uses flashback to emphasise that billy did not belong in his home, “he... slammed the door on my sporting childhood” this flashback is an example of irony, although we should belong with our family billy is rejected and pushed away from his father, this is Herrick’s concept that even though things can look normal on the surface deep down you can not belong, this is also
Yet his shame at having a child with a Hazara woman leads him to hide the fact that Hassan is his son. Because he cannot love Hassan openly, he is somewhat distant toward Amir and is often hard on him, though he undoubtedly loves him. Keith’s father is
Since the day Amir is born, he feels that his father dislikes him. While his mother gave birth, Amir continually felt as though he had to fix the ruining of his father’s life of love with Sofia.

The differences between the father and son are so abundant that Baba emphasizes, “If I hadn’t seen the doctor pull him out of my wife with my own eyes, I’d not believe he’s my son” (Hossieni 25).
Even though he loves Edna and his sons, I don’t think he is considered as a good husband since he knows very few about Edna’s true feeling. I think this because he spends slight time with them, and leaves the family behind and goes out saying that he is always busy and has to go away for business or spends more time with his friends. As my point of view, I think it is not fair for a guy to treat a wife or his family like this and it seems like he is just a selfish person to me. Since marriage during that time of period was very harsh for women I think she was able to survive by meeting people. The time period where Edna was living was in a very strict condition for the women, especially for house wives.
