Sig's constantly faced with decisions about religion, violence, and his own actions, and he turns to his parents for support—the only trouble is that his mom and dad think completely opposite things most of the time. Revolver explores these complex family dynamics, as Sig learns how to find his own way in life while still respecting and loving both of his parents. Within the family, they may quarrel and nag each other, but when times get tough, these folks support one another without missing a beat.
Questions About Family
- Who does Sig usually agree with—his mom or his dad? Does finding the truth out about his dad change anything?
- Is Einar a good father? He often questions why he moved his family to the freezing cold in search of gold. Do you think it's responsible of him to keep them on the run?
- What role do women play in the family? What sorts of responsibilities do Anna, Nadya, and Maria have? In return, what kind of power or respect do they command?
- Why does Wolff seek Sig out when Einar is dead? Is it fair to blame Sig for his dad's choices?
