This is the time of year for celebrating the great men in our life – fathers, father figures and the like. Here is a list of some of my favourite fathers in literature. And also a few of the unloved ones\u00a0\u00a0in books. Here are some much loved literary father figures, both the conventional and the unconventional ones. And three detestable bookish dads who do not deserve Father’s Day wishes at all.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Mr. BENNET (Pride and Prejudice<\/em> by Jane Austen) <\/p>\n 2. ARTHUR WEASLEY (Harry Potter series<\/em> by J. K. Rowling) <\/p>\n
\nMr. Bennet \u00a0is one of my favourite father figures. His humour is impeccable. Being in a house with five unmarried girls and a wife who dramatizes every conversation with her nerves is no small thing, and Mr. Bennet does it with style.
\nMy most memorable scene is Mr. Bennet taking Elizabeth’s side when she disagrees to marry Mr. Collins. Patient, intelligent and a reader, Mr. Bennet is sure to steal your heart.<\/p>\n
\nArthur Weasley is the “fun-dad”. He sure is well loved in his huge family of six sons – Bill, Charlie, Percy, twins Fred and George, and Ron, and daughter, Ginny. I see Mr. Weasley as a dad you can count on, someone to whom you can talk about any of your problems. Whether it be standing up for his children or welcoming their friends as part of the family or being strong willed in what he thinks is right or meddling with Muggle stuff, Arthur Weasley is the man!<\/p>\n
