Thord Overaas is the wealthiest and most influential person in the parish and proud of his son. He meets the priest only when he is baptised, then sixteen years later when he is confirmed - and the third time when he is going to marry the richest girl of the region. When the priest notices that Thord has not changed over the years he answers: "That is because I have no troubles." Before the wedding his son drowns. Thord sells half of his farm and gives the money to the poor. The priest says: "I think your son has at last brought you a true blessing."

The main theme in Bjornson's, The Father is pride. Thord Overaas visited a priest numerous times throughout the years requesting that his son achieve various accomplishments. He does this because he wants his son to make him proud. While the priest granted Thord's wishes, the price for Thord's pride is his son losing his life.

its how a prideful father uses his son as a "tool" in his life, then when his son dies it "blesses" him in the sense that Thord becomes humble.

the lesson learned is that the father changed after his son’s tragedy. His son’s tragedy made him a selfless person.
