Tod’s father is God. He is lying when he makes it seem like their relationship is good. Basically he was just being deceptive and this was also kinda a setup to take a jab at Dennis. Hes just toying with him.
I mean he’s having a laugh what with saying “I look up to him” “he’s always treated me as an equal”
And he assumes Dennis and Dennis’ father don’t get along too well because he’s pointing out the fact that Dennis is disobeying God- his “father”/maker. Because he is dining with the devil and also because he disobeyed the one rule which is to not trust anybody but the sheep. Dining with someone is a pretty chummy thing to do.
Yup basically this just shows how Todd has the upper hand here. He knows what Dennis doesn’t and is manipulating the whole situation
Thanks for explaining! I never even considered father being like the holy father.
*light spoilers* Is there any deeper meaning to Tod mentioning his father? He mentioned his father taught him how to hunt, although he is now retired, and that his father sees him as an equal?
My current understanding is that maybe it is because Tod is resolute? He has followed his father's path as a trusted hunter vs. Dennis feels guilty for betraying his father and he continues to be condemed by people due to his inattentiveness towards "his" animals.
I'm not too sure what Tod mentioning his father "doesn't hut anymore" is supposed to mean. If he means hunt as "seduce" I guess his dad could just not be dilf material, but idk. I don't rlly think that is how it is meant to be understood
