Fatherhood is a theme that recurs in literature. It motivated many poets, novelists, and dramatists. Whereas some of poets wrote elegies for their fathers, others wrote novels and plays in which absent fathers were the cause of the difficulties confronted by the characters in these literary works. In addition, there are plays and novels where fathers are an inspiring force guiding their offspring. Significantly, fathers whether absent or present do influence their children. Their influence may be positive as well as negative affecting the family in particular and the society in general. In some of the novels, the father figure represents a moral guide, such as Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird (1960).
