Overprotective parents tend to be universally characterized as “evil” by their children. You know the type… these parents do anything they possibly can to influence their child’s directions. This often happens along gender lines: mothers with daughters and fathers with sons. This short story, spun by Margaret Atwood, a master of the craft, describes how such a relationship evolved over time and was passed on to the next generation.
This story is filled with humor, insight, irony, and a strange sort of love. Anyone who can relate to having an overprotective parent (men included!) might find an hour’s fun by digging into this concise work. Who knows? Their scars and wounds, too, might be healed a bit by prying into another parent-child relationship.
