Strider said:I think your makeing Abner sound kind of strict, he seemed pretty easy going to me. I don't think he would really get to angry unless there was err... sexual contact.
I always pictured Ravenwood as strict. From what I heard from my dad, most parents back then were strict to begin with. Please also bear in mind that fathers are particulary protective of their daughters. I know this from experience.
Also, in one part in the novelization of Raiders when Marion recalls her relationship with Indy, Abner warns Marion to stay away from Indiana because he'll just break her heart. Maybe Abner DID love Indy like a son, but it sounds to me like Ravenwood knew Indy was somewhat of a young cad. Perhaps he'd heard of Indy's "exploits" with women. Maybe it was a well known fact on the campus of U of C. Who knows?
