Assignment blog entry 3 - Who is my least favourite character in Village by the Sea

My least favourite character in Village by the Sea is of course Hari's father. Although he turned over a new leaf at the end of the story, all the fear and hardships Hari, Lila and their sisters faced are all caused by him, directly or indirectly.

He was a good for nothing. He drinks toddy all day and totally disregards the role of a father, leaving Hari to take over his rightful duties. Hari's father is also a violent person, bringing fear and hatred to Lila, Hari and their sisters. They hated him so much that they even want him dead.

Also, Hari's father had debts, which resulted in the Khanekar brothers killing Pinto the dog. This saddened the family alot and also led to Hari leaving for Bombay.

Even though he turned over a new leaf and felt sorry for what he did, it still does not account for what he had done to the family, making them suffer. So with the above reasons, Hari's father is my least favourite character in Village by the Sea.
