Honorable
Mention
One
librarian asked us to note that Pride and Prejudice covertly hinges
on father figures. We meet Darcy not long after the passing of his
father, putting Fitzgerald into a role of authority, and Eliza's dad
is at least partly responsible for her viewing people as a source of
amusement, hence her tendency toward prejudice. Also, Wickham seems
to go bad not long after his “excellent father” passes away,
causing him to be raised by the elder Darcy.
Another
librarian holds that Speed Racer is all about fatherhood. He suggested
a viewing of the movie while noting all the things Pops Racer says.
The movie was not popular, but we can't say he's wrong.
Lastly,
a bunch of us here just love the words of Pa Tuck in Tuck Everlasting
about what life is.
