”I think I'm going to disappear for a while”, were the words that McCandless used as farewell to the two people that gave him life(21). Yes, it is one thing to think differently from your parents and to disagree with their lifetime and to despise their actions toward you and those around you; but it is a whole different thing to be cruel and show yourself ungrateful for the “ups” in the life parents have given their children. The reason signaled by him was the fact that he disapproved of his parents’ “moral shortcomings” after finding out Walt, his dad, conceived him while still married to his first wife and left his first family for his mother. Moreover, that Walt McCandless also conceived a half-brother of his after being married to Billie, his mom, with his ex-wife. This snapped something deep down in Chris that led him to alienate his parents from his life and block all feelings he had for them being his procreators and instead look up to the teachings

No longer useful to the story, he is 'killed off' rather quickly after being effectively killed of as a living, breathing character. It should be his father's moral failures that 'humanize' him, but it seems in reality even more the fact that he now works in a gas station. Amir is such a mean character that he is almost glad that his father has fallen, never mind that the man is working himself to death to pay to educate Amir and give him an aristocratic wedding. It is obscene that Amir accepts the wedding, since he is, more than his father, an American now. He perhaps should have at least entertained the possibility of not allowing his father to spend so much money.

This truthfulness however lands her in a bad place as she is disowned by her father for not professing her love. Gonerill and Regan are the complete opposite here as they show dishonesty in lying about how much each of them loves their father. As soon as their father has given them their share of inheritance they become ungrateful and no longer care for their father. ‘And in good time you gave it.’ Here Regan tells Lear that he took his time
