What does the father's big heart symbolize in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: His hidden love and tenderness

The governing concept is characterisation through figurative language. The expression “big heart” does not describe the father’s body, strength, money, or social position. It symbolises generosity, affection, patience, and emotional warmth. Although the father often appears strict and tired, the night episode reveals that he cares deeply for Kezia and wants her to feel safe. Therefore option B is correct: the big heart represents his hidden love and tenderness. Option A takes the phrase literally, while C presents the opposite quality and D has no connection with the incident. Understanding this symbolic expression helps explain why Kezia’s judgement of her father changes by the end of the story.
