How do the father's punishment and later support together shape his character in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They make him a complex character with both strictness and hidden affection

The father is a complex character because the story presents contrasting aspects of his behaviour. His punishment and stern manner create fear in Kezia, showing that he can be strict and impatient when he thinks she has done wrong. At the same time, his later support during the night reveals concern, tenderness, and a protective instinct. These details should be considered together rather than used to label him as entirely cruel or entirely playful. Option C is correct because it gives a balanced character analysis. Options A and B ignore important evidence, while D is plainly false because the father is central to the story’s emotional development.
