Robertson Davies conveyed truth and reality very well throughout the entire novel, The Manticore. He did this especially well throughout the five most meaningful events in the novel. Davies writings are easily translated into real life events which can apply to a reader of any age, gender or race. And since many of his themes are undying, the truths of his work will never die either. David’s trip to Montreal may be more easily related to than one might think. Although most people have never had to deal with their father setting up their first real sexual experience many, many people do have fathers who often try too hard and don’t fully understand the wants and needs of their sons. Despite Boy’s awful parenting, David still respects him as a father and considers him a role model. This suggests the innocence of youth and their often bad choices for role models. This can still be applied today with children’s role models often being sports heroes with drug addictions or anorexic super models.
