The Father portrays a tragedy of a man and his wife struggling for the possession of their child. The father, a cavalry captain, is intellectual, a freethinker, and a man of ideas. His wife is narrow, selfish, and unscrupulous in her methods when her antagonism is wakened. While the father's love is concerned with the development of the child, that of the mother is focused mainly in the possession of the child. Therefore, she fights the man with every means at her command, even to the point of instilling the poison of doubt into his mind, with implicating that he may not be the father to the child. Not only does she seek to drive her husband mad, but through skillful intrigue, she makes every one, including the Doctor, to believe that he is actually insane. Robbed of his faith, broken in spirit and subdued, the captain dies as a victim of the Earth Spirit - of motherhood, which slays the man for the sake of the child.
The mimesis of The Father contains sufficient plausible details and it concentrates upon the relationship between the male and the female that is so focused that the play almost becomes an abstraction of the essential tension between the two individuals' different goals and will. In The Father, the captain cannot muster the virility, desperate as he should be, to win this battle over the power. Laura, on the other hand, is clearly the 'terrible mother,' the all-consuming, all-powerful, exaggerated new-woman, like a predator strategically hunting down her prey. Laura who has become all mighty in the house simply determines who is the father to the daughter. The tragedy is the fact that the father needs all the power and help but he is incapable of having neither of them. Futhermore, he cannot tolerate that anyone else but he has the power over the house.
Frye's critical and archetypal method are particularly valuable as the basis for an examination of The Father, because it controls the tendency to examine the play primarily in terms of Strindberg's own psychic aberrations and demonstrates the universality rather than the uniqueness of the play. The action of Strindberg's play is certainly clarified if the Captatin's surrender to his wife is read as the archetypal action of the submission of the male to the female which is manifested in such mythical surrenders as that of Hercules to Omphale, Adam to Eve, and Samson to Delilah. Certainly the captain was caught in a Black Widow's web, unlike Agamemnon trapped and destroyed by Clytemnestra.
