1) Dad is harsh and indifferent and full of prejudice. He looked down on inferior people, and when he saw children running around with bare bottoms, he had to talk to their parents. It is conceivable that when little Nigel said "I don't want to be taken care of by my father", the child's willfulness hides the fear and fear of his father.
2) My mother is very nice, but unfortunately I can't make delicious food. Later, because of illness, Nigel was left behind. The most impressive scene is that her mother taught Nigel to make Christmas cakes while carrying her sickness. When she wanted to stop the process because she couldn't find the materials, Nigel finally found an outlet for her emotions.
Does he not love his mother! He loves. He can dance with his mother's clothes, and he can always fight with his stepmother, which shows the status of his mother in his heart. But think about the words he said at that time: "I'd rather you die."
There is a fine line between love and hate. He loved too deeply, so when his love was cut off by illness, he put on the cloak of hatred.
3) Nigel doesn't have many friends, the only one who has a good opinion is the gardener Josh. Josh is funny, flirtatious, and nice to Nigel. Every time Josh appears, the picture is beautiful, such as the sunny garden, the flower rain in summer. The existence of Josh is a ray of sunshine in the cold winter for Nigel.
However, soon, Josh was replaced by his father.
4) As soon as my mother died, a stepmother that Nigel despised came to the house. She's a cleaner, and Nigel doesn't think she's qualified to be a part of the family. It's scary that he wants to live with someone who is taking his love from his father.
If I had to describe Nigel in one word, it would be miserable. His life is really cold.
Fortunately, he turned his repressed emotions into cooking.
Cooking is his weapon. He uses cooking to win his father, win dignity and fight with his stepmother, and make life meaningful.
When his love had nowhere to go, cooking became his everything.
