In the book The Giver Jonas father
works in the nursery taking care of the infants but one of the deeds that he has to do
is to put them to death sometimes. He refers to the act as
releasing the infants. I can think of
quite a few adjectives that would describe his father in the
story.
Nurturing, ignorant, caring, trustworthy, parental,
dutiful, obedient, friendly, helpful, unengaged, and
bland.
Some of the traits are evident because he has no
memories of how to have real emotions like the rest of the members in the community. I
can not call him a murderer because he does not "kill" according to the communications
of his society.
