Describe the character of Sophia's father and the role played by him.

Sophie’s father was a man of authority, truth, hard work and deep senses. He understood, saw, experienced and realised the very truth about life but he was not well- off. He had to work hard for keeping his family alive. He had a realistic approach towards life and had firm faith in social interactions. Being a considerate, kind and sensible father, he understood the nature of the family but was deadly against wild stories. He always wanted to keep his family members happy and peaceful but financially he was not well-off. The day's hardwork was clearly visible on his plump face.

He was a sports lover and used to go with his family on weekly pilgrimage. While seeing the United Team winning, he boosted Danny’s morale. After the victory, he went to the pub for celebration and drink. When Sophie told that Danny was buying a shop, he made an ugly expression on his face to show disgust. He did not approve Sophie’s wild stories for Danny and rather warned as well as advised her about a lot of trouble she was going to be entrapped in. Though he was an aggressive yet he was a true and rightful person. Sophie was much scared of him and told Jansie “You know what a misery he is”.
