What are the ironies involved in Eugene loving God the Father and Jesus the Son, but despising his own father and abusing his own son?

Purple Hibiscus - Chapter 7

Respuesta :

The irony lies in the fact that Eugene manages to love distant and non-corporeal beings, but he mistreats those close to him, such as his family.

You can reach this answer because:

  • Eugene is an authoritarian and abusive man.
  • He claims to follow Christian concepts, in addition to claiming that he loves God (father) and Jesus Christ (son) to maintain the appearance of being a good man.
  • But he mistreats his son and oppresses him in the way he thinks is right.
  • He despises his father and cuts off all communication with him, abandoning him completely.

By affirming that he loves God and Jesus, Eugene shows that he can feel love for distant, incorporeal beings who represent someone else's father and son. This is even ironic, because his father and the son he cannot love.

Eugene is a complex character, full of strands and layers.
