On the Importance of the Image of "Father"

I want to talk about a relatively single aspect, which is the role of "father" in this drama. When you watch tbbt, you can also see that, in contrast to Petunia, Bernadette and their normally masculine father in the show, Xie Er's father died early, so his influence on adult Xie Er is missing. This point can actually be applied to other people around Xie’s ears: Howard’s father left him when he was young; although Amy, Leonard, and Raj have fathers, Amy’s father is the ultimate wife. Regardless, Leonard's father is also a nerd, Raj's father is very rich but does not understand him, and the relationship between these parents is actually not very good. What's interesting is that Petunia and Bernadette have become the most sound of these people. Xie Er and Amy are almost social barriers. Leonard Howard and Raj have different personalities, but neither can escape the word inferiority and lack of masculinity. I guess that this has nothing to do with their father. As for Xie Er's father, tbbt has mentioned many times that he is a completely different person from Xie Er: a football coach with a grumpy temper. This kind of person must be very masculine, but I don't see how much it promotes the characters in the play. Until this little Sheldon, we can see the influence of Xie Er's father on him in his childhood, and the effect of this influence on the lack of tbbt. Broadly speaking, the image of "father" is even larger than that of "mother" in the play. Xie Er’s father, Missy’s old baseball coach, Xie Er’s elder brother, and Xie Er’s chic grandma, all play the role of "father" at certain times; even dr Sturgis, the old man, also plays the role of Xie Er's scientific mentor and "father". Little Shelton living in this environment is happy, because he has the meticulous love and care from his mother that allows him to continue his maverick in the warmth, and there are also "fathers" who treat him in character. Implied guidance and influence on career. For example, his father taught him to be responsible for his actions, not to anger his family because of his unsatisfactory work, and sacrifice his own personal interests for the happiness of his family. His grandmother taught him to bluff his ears and take Missy to fight to learn baseball. Opportunities, baseball coaches teaching Missy to gain confidence when playing, teaching little George how to do business and sales, how to talk between men, and teaching grandpa to Xie Er's scientific advice are all masculinity influences. Developed to the current third season, Little Shelton is not the feeling of inhumane fireworks in the early days of tbbt, but sometimes is quite humane, responsible, and responsible. But with the early death of Xie Er's father and his early going out to college, this kind of "father" role was prematurely interrupted, even before Xie Er's crucial puberty arrived. It can be seen that the tender side of Xie Er's body has disappeared in the first season of tbbt, and the audience still sees the process of his return to "human" from scratch. So who played this role in this process? I said it was Petunia. Some people might say it was Amy, but the mentor and imitator of Amy's return to "human" is still Penny. A careful audience may see that the character of the grandmother of Little Sheldon is very similar to Penny's. I think this is not a coincidence, but the elaborate design of the screenwriter. Petunia played the role of "father" next to Xie Er as an adult, using her own personality to influence him, making him more and more like a real man in life and in his feelings, dedication and dedication to friends and feelings. Reasonable, responsible, and responsible. In contrast, Leonard as a roommate is more like playing the role of "mother", obedient to Xie's ears, and Leonard's doing this is more or less derived from the role of "father" in childhood. Weakening and adaptation and obedience under mother's suppression. Besides, we can see that in tbbt, Xie Er's subconscious desire for the missing father role. He didn't like Penny's going straight at first, but he couldn't do without Penny; when he accepted the commission of his childhood idol Professor Proton, he excitedly called Professor Proton "father"; like Amy, he had to ask Stephen Hawking before he proposed marriage. When he and Bernadette’s father watched a football game, when Bernadette’s father wanted to toast Xie Er’s father and him, Xie Er's excitement made it drunk, this is Xie Er's enthusiasm for a male elder who can teach and influence himself. It is a pity that Xie Er’s father passed away too early. He could only find dedication, tolerance, responsibility and responsibility among his friends until he became an adult; this also shows how important the role of a father is in the family. Or lack thereof, how important is the influence of masculinity on a child's sound personality.
