In human society, father's usually represent the foundation or base of a family. Though there are many different types of fathers, most provide their offspring, in this case more specifically sons, with influence, involvement and at times affection. For children, the typical father often plays the role of the carefree and fun-loving parent who tries to engage their son in all the fun things they did as a kid. Likewise, the son often mimicks the father, seeing him as a role model to live by.
However, we often see that as sons grow older, fathers tend to hold a diminishing level of affection and may or may not be more crtitical of expectations that may have been set in childhood. Fathers often also expect their sons to be their legacy; fullfilling or continuing everything they may or may not have achieved.
