I agree with that assessment. He might be a reasonable parent for some, and his children might survive despite his behavior but as for being a good parent he does not come close. I might feel sympathy for such a man, but it would not be respect.rheanna11 wrote: ↑02 Oct 2018, 18:04 I think at times it is a good thing he is not so involved with his children. I do not feel that he would be a good role model even with all of his professional success. He is a strong of example of being a ruthless and ambitious person but as far as being an example of good and moral character, I think not.

This is true and I am of the same opinion also. He was too egocentric to be a good father.BookReader+6 wrote: ↑02 Oct 2018, 10:36 I think in the beginning of the book he's too self-centered to be a good father.
