Who is Anthony Weaver from For the Sake of Elena and what is their importance? For_the_Sake_of_Elena English & Literature Anthony Weaver | For the Sake of Elena

A respected don at Cambridge University, Anthony Weaver is a leading candidate for the Penford Chair in History. Weaver has been married twice, first to Glyn or Elena's mother and then to Justine, a younger woman. Weaver leaves Glyn when Elena is five years old. He and his daughter reconnect after Elena chooses to attend St. Stephen's College in Cambridge. Weaver spends much of his emotional energy trying to make up lost time for the years he missed with Elena. Weaver is basically self-serving and narcissistic, putting his wants and needs ahead of others, except for Elena. Weaver's affair with the artist Sarah Gordon is an offshoot of his egocentricity and his inability to control his urges.
