Is Dr. Hariss a good dad and husband? Does he genuinely love and care for them? Amazing chapter btw!
I think that he is a little distant but by 1950s standards an excellent dad- becuase he actually speaks to his children and cares about their well being lmao. Checking their homework, asking about their sports, etc. He is a little firm with the kids but consistent with 1950s standards. His kids think they have a good dad.
And his wife would be pretty surprised to learn that he is obsessing over some random stick of a patient locked away in his care. But she'd just brush it off and say her husband is so charitable- devoting his career to treating deranged people who can't care for themselves. She thinks his patients are lucky to have someone so intelligent who devotes so much to his job.
His neighbors think he's a great guy but are surprised that someone as nice and smart as him chooses to spend his day with insane people locked up by the state. They think he should have been a cardiologist or something more pleasant. Still great to invite to the barbecue though
