Father is characterized as a man who does tricks to impress people, wanted to be expert in tricks with eggs. Some tricks did not draw people's attention that much.  The story unfolds as he tries to perform a specific trick and fails. Your goal is to try to keep the attention and interest of his visitor.

Father's character is very important in this story, because he begins by showing these tricks until the very end of the story. The climax of this story is when the visitor wants to leave and father with a little anger and strength, tries to keep him in his seat, so that he could continue his show. Somehow the story shows he was no good at doing it. He could not convince Joe that was a good thing, so he uses strenght to get it.  He wants Joe, the visitor, to have such an interest in the tricks, that Joe wants to do the same with other people. He is a man who does his best to keep the attention to him,  in what he has done, even if he has failed.
