Question

Describe Eveline's father. What impact does he have on Eveline's life?

Answer 1

Answer:

Eveline’s father

Explanation:

Eveline’s father was abusive to her siblings and mother, but spared Eveline when she was young since she was a girl. He used to go searching in the field for her and her siblings with a blackthorn stick to call them inside, and appears to be a figure feared by all of the neighborhood kids. He also seems to take pride in showing off the photo of his old friend, a priest who moved to Melbourne. He has recently begun to threaten Eveline, now that she is older and there is no one else around to protect her. He squabbles about money with Eveline on Saturdays, worried that she will waste it. He also forbids Eveline from seeing Frank, assuming that he is unfaithful because he is a sailor.
