In the Flight of Icarus. The character Icarus is not an obedient son because he tunes out his father Daedalus when he excliams what not to do. This is proven when it says " Icarus Stop Stop" and "The wax in the wings melted and feathers were falling down toward the ground."This shows how when he did'nt listen and obey his father's directions he plumited to his doom.
