Matt’s relationship with Tam Lin and El Patrón shows how father figures can have a heavy influence on a child’s action, resulting in an overall change in their future behaviors. The two men taking up fatherly roles in the novel illustrate their similar traits to Matt through their actions. Both men appear to care for Matt deeply, treating Matt as if he matters and is not simply a clone to be used. Similarly, they also give him a sense of strength, continuing to shape Matt’s young mind. Their care gave Matt a form of stability, forming his character and keeping him from becoming someone like Tom, a young man who has received no love and positive attention.

He fasts vigorously until he grows so weak he almost cannot stand, “It was his custom, too, as it has been that of many other pious Puritans, to fast, - not, however, like them...but rigorously, and until his knees trembled beneath him, as an act of penance”. (ch. 11) He would even whip himself at night, “bloody scourge… plied on his own shoulders.” to punish himself for the sin he committed.

Also with the stage directions used, Birling appears to be affronted. But there’s another way of looking at this snappy dialogue. Deep down inside Birling perhaps is deteriorating, desperately thinking of a resolution to his problems. This shows the character of Birling to be defined in a different light.
