He's much better adjusted than Bernard One until he finds out that he is a clone. Then his world kind of falls apart. You get the impression that he had a loving father. He was wanted and well taken care of, but he begins to question that. We begin to see him losing confidence in his own worth. |
He's very well-adjusted. He's married. He has children. He's happy. He doesn't see any of this as threatening or problematic. He says he thinks it's fun and exciting to be part of this experience. |
I think a lot of the guilt in the play is what the father feels because of the failure with his first son. He uses cloning in an attempt to start over again. |
I think this play is, in a sense, the father's story. We see him go from a state of happiness - he's content; he has his son; he's okay - to the end, where he is totally lost. |
