Question

what is the source of the father"s anger ? from father to son [poem]

Answer 1

It seems that the knowledge of great distance between the father and the son, and the differences between them create such a sad and troubled situation that it gives way to anger. Thus, anger can be seen as sprouting from the frustration regarding the troubled relationship. Both of them want to reconcile yet find it difficult to do so because of the lack of understanding which is very unsettling.

Answer 2

The poem ‘Father to Son’ is written by Elizabeth Jennings. The poem is about the anger of a father who doesn’t have a good relationship with his son.

Explanation:

• The son, in the poem, is now grown up and has a busy life.
• The father does not like the gap that has been created between them.
• He shares his feeling by saying he wants to know his son as there is no sign of understanding.
• The father wants to have a similar relationship with his son when he was a little child to him.
• He tried every possible way to fill this gap but ends with hopeless feeling.
• At the end of the poem, they drift apart.
