With the possible exception of Northanger Abbey, in which the father plays a minor part, all of the fathers in Jane Austen's novels are weak in some way or another.
In Sense and Sensibility, Mr. Dashwood dies without providing for his wife and daughter, though this is hardly a fault of his.
In Pride and Prejudice, both parents neglect their daughters' education, and Mr. Bennet fails by providing neither moral discipline nor dowries.
In Mansfield Park, the father, Lt. Price, is a drunk, and the surrogate father, Sir Thomas Bertram, fails to provide moral guidance to his children.
In Emma, Mr. Woodhouse is either eccentric or declining mentally, or both.
In Persuasion, Sir Walter Elliot is vain, ruinously improvident, and ridiculous.
Jane Austen does not provide portraits of good father figures, as I recall.
