he literally said he would raise his son to be emotionless like a heir should be and blabla when she confronted him abt his studies and the engagement yet goes around and get mad when his wife was literally having a breakdown and suffering from ptsd when she was neglecting her son. before she died he saw her suffer which was affecting their son too yet he never tried to fix stuff. just watched and blamed her.
But you forgot that he is giving his son the same education he received. That's how he have been raised. Differently from the wife who didn't want to know anything about her kid, he did everything he knew was for the best of his kid.
Should I also remember you that in that period, men were educated to be strong, masculine and so on? The father was given the education of duke, and he is giving the same education to his son.
the father knows damn well how the education he recieved didnt do shit but make him detached from his family like how he cant even properly communicate with both his wife and his kid yet still chose to basically neglect his son except for pushing false ideals abt perfection and how a man should be but yeah only the mom is horrible
Yall dont see a serial killer and be "oh no its because he got abusive parents so we cant blame him or call him bad person"
You live in a society if bunch of people you can decide yourself as to what bad and wrong. Even he was raised as such a cold man AND HE HIMSELF KNEW that he suffered from those education he still implemented that to his son. Is that what a parent should do ?

i feel like ppl dont hold her husband accountable as much as they do to her. they both neglected him yet he only blames his wife why is that? what makes you think you have the right to be angry at your wife when you have done just the same and was cold to your son too. a child needs both parents' live not just the mom's. at least shes trying now.. what is he doing to make his relationship with his son any better?
