2. Eldon lived a difficult life. He killed his best friend out of what he believed to be cowardice and inadvertently killed his wife with his drinking as a result. Eldon is unable to forgive himself for the wrongs he has committed and turns to alcohol to dull his internal suffering. This lack of forgiveness also drives him to feel unworthy of fatherhood and reject his son. (Various chapters)
