What might it mean that Kevin feels caught between two different “fathers”—at home with his family and at school with his teacher, who is a priest? Why might the author give this word multiple meanings?

Each of them resemble certain traits of a father and one is his real father while the other is his spiritual father. This double meaning adds a little confusion but also help you to see how the character feels about the two.
