Describe the relation between Squire Cass and his sons in Silas Mamer

Answer»

The relationship between Squire Cass and his sons can be characterized as the relationship an administrator has with two bad, lazy, ineffective, and difficult employees who also happen to be related by blood to him. Hence, it is twice more difficult to fire an employee who is related by family. 

Squire Cass was very clear with his sons, especially Godfrey, that he did not trust either of them enough to administer the Red House. The sons also knew that they would never match up to their father’s expectation because none of them had the work ethics, the strength of morale, nor the attitude to take over a job as well as their father did. 

Hence, it is the relationship of master and servant, soldier and commander, boss and employee what is characteristic of the father/son connection in the Cass clan
