Word Entry- "Daddy"

1.      "Every woman adores a Fascist, 

The boot in the face, the brute 

Brute heart of a brute like you.” (984)

2.      My guess is that the author is trying to explain that every woman adores someone that is very forward and aggressive. Before this stanza the author is describing his father has a “Luftwaffe” (line 42), which means an armored vehicle and how he has “always been scared [of his father]” (line 41).

3.      Fascist: “a person who is dictatorial or has extreme right-wing views” (Dictionary.com)

4.      I got the idea of the word Fascist. It means that the authors’ dad, Otto Plath, had the characteristics that might have attract other women. They like his authority.
