Analysis of the story The Parable of the Prodigal son

ANALYSIS OF THE STORY "THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON:" The complaints of the older son according to the parable were due to the father’s reception and rejoicing of his lost son.

It was bitter for him to see his brother coming back to get another share of the property while he had taken his share which seems not to be fair to him.
