Quote #10
Roger was by no means a bulky man and the way he filled the uniform so tightly gave the Major the unpleasant sensation that his own father must have been more slight and insubstantial than he remembered. (17.19)
This is a brief statement, but it reveals so much of how the Major thought of his own father… and how that opinion is changing. The Major sees his father as a larger-than-life character, but after the ceremony, he sees him as only human, and a flawed human, at that, who directly participated in British imperialism.
