“Follower” by Seamus Heaney proves that relationships change with time and age because of the way the father and son think of each other throughout the story. It used to be him that was “tripping, falling, Yapping always.” Now his father is “stumbling behind [him], and will not go away.” (lines 21-24). This shows that over time people change and treat the people around them differently based on their age and therefore create a new kind of relationship with them. Back then he thought that his father was “An expert.” (line 5). All he did was “follow his broad shadow round the farm” when he was young. (lines 19-20). He viewed his father as a hero, and years later he views him as a follower. In conclusion, people have new personalities and needs as they get older which changes relationships.
