Father is a hero archetype to every child. Not conforming to one’s own archetype brings fatal consequence not only to himself as well as to the children. When the father does not meet up with his hero archetypes, the child is disappointed towards its father that fetches the child an unfulfilled life. Boy Staunton, father of David in Robertson Davies’ Manticore, though looks heroic at his social stand, miserably fails to set moral values for himself and for his children that makes him commit suicide and leaves his children depressed throughout their life being unable to accept the unheroic father. This article presents Boy Staunton as an unheroic father which brings David, his depressed son to Zurich to meet with psychiatrist in order see some remedy for his discontent soul.
