I don't know what the technical term for it is but I love it when Slade classifies his family as a thing he has. He has his house and his guns and his sword and his money and his family and his friends and these are equally things he owns that belong to him and any damage or loss of them is someone robbing him of his things. He values his son more than his house but they're graded on the same scale, you get me?
augh yeah. like i said i think it's sort of an extension of that sexist idea that the father protects and controls his family, and it probably appeals to slade because he's a weird little control freak. so he sees his family getting hurt as an attack on his masculinity instead of gaf about their well-being
