The parental connections in the story are something of complete opposites. The father-son relationship in the middle of Uncas and Chingachgook is weighed down with profound admiration, custom, submission, and pride. Chingachgook prizes his child and cravings for him to be solid, responsible, and to basically bear on the Mohican blood-line. The father-daughter connections that happened between Cora, Alice, and Munro were reliably strained because of the war. While Munro worshiped his young ladies, he was excessively busied with his obligations as officer to see to their actual security and to guarantee their passionate needs were met.
