Is the father fair to the elder son?
What will be an ideal response?
- The elder son’s jealousy is not directed at his brother per se; it has more to do with the father’s reaction toward the younger son. It is true the older brother lacks compassion for his younger brother, but, from a contemporary point of view, the father has, perhaps, failed his older son. Although the older son has done everything expected of him, he feels unappreciated and unloved. He says to his father, “you never even gave me and my friends a kid.”
The father, however, refuses to be drawn into an argument with his older son. When the son complains to him, he answers with, to quote G. B. Caird, “the gentlest of rebukes”: “Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.”
