good father. Everyone who has done some bad things should not be judged merely by a few incidents, or a part of his or her life, but by a life
as a whole. Similarly, when evaluating characters in fiction, the whole of the character needs to be considered. Troy is complex. He wears many hats. He is a worker, a
friend, a husband and a father. His role as a father shines. There is no one who could be better here in terms of how much he cares. Despite his
