Glauca Ravelli is the central narrator of the novel titled The Unfaithful Father. The book is not actually about infidelity to his wife. It is about the values of today's upside-down world and a deeply thinking modern man who wants to be good and just and honest with himself and his family. When he realizes that the era of carefree and surrender to pleasure has finally passed, he is overcome by the fear and indecision of a small child. At the same time, he realizes that his father can be a model of a strong patriarchy that knows how to put things in their right place. He is burdened with feelings for his wife, whom he loves immensely, but after marriage and the birth of his daughter, the relationship between them begins to slowly wither and die out for no reason. He surrenders to his daughter and gives himself away to the fullest, because the eternally crying baby requires a lot of energy and is the center of events for today's couples. Long, unheard nights also take energy sexually. Ravelli surrenders to casual women and alcohol because he does not dare to tell his wife what he feels. Little Anita is growing up, and with it the realization that we gave birth to children to serve our selfishness and egocentrism and are only luxurious appendages and wonderful consumers of society.
