... 1. How does Heaney present relationships between males in Digging and Follower? Heaney presents male relationships in many different ways, through many different angles in Digging and Follower. The most obvious comparison that can be constructed between the two is that of Heaney's apparent feeling of proudness and admiration towards his father, this is most prominent in Follower where we are told of Heaney's father ploughing a field. Heaney uses complimentary language to portray his feelings towards his father "an expert". This quote shows that Heaney was proud of his father's skill as a ploughman and might want to be like him one day, which becomes more apparent as the poem draws on. In comparison to this Heaney seems to show similar level of appreciation to his grandfather's ability ad a digger in Digging. This is apparent as Heaney boasts of how his "grandfather cut more turf in a day than any other man
