Understanding the relationship between father and son can be very difficult, and sometimes it is hard to describe. In the novel Night, by Elie Wiesel, the author uses many examples like imagery, tone, and foreshadowing to understand what a father/son relationship is like and to help the reader understand. Some examples given were when Elie watched his father get whipped, seen his father break down and cry for the very first time, and staying with his father through all the suffering. A father and his son's relationship can never be broken, not even by death.
This is a passage from the book ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ written by Harper Lee. Tom Robinson has been charged of rapping Mayella Ewell, daughter of Bob Ewell. Atticus, advocate of Tom has done well to prove that Tom is innocent but the tension still exists as Tom Robinson is a black person.

Eddie showed no signs of remorse or emotion during the many hours of interrogation. When he talked about the murders and of his grave robbing escapades he spoke very matter-of-factly, even cheerfully at times.

You don't choose your family; they are God's gift to you, as you are to them. My family is my strength and weakness, my wealth and privilege and the love of them and their admiration is much more important than everything. Without loyalty, the world wouldn’t be the same, people would backstab one another and people wouldn’t trust each other, as a result of the lack of loyalty between the people. From reading Antigone, I realized that loyalty was a very essential argument that came in many various forms; such as expressing loyalty to the family and to respect and honor the state or country.
The major theory of ethics that this argument relies on is Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism (U) is characterised by carrying out an action to produce the greatest amount of good (or “utility”) for the greatest number of people, regardless of whether or not the action is right or wrong. The word “good” is defined as a sense of satisfaction, gain or welfare – according to the Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus. Alternatively, the theory focuses on reducing the total amount of harm imposed on the greatest number of people. Viewing this theory from either perspective will generate an overall positive outcome.
