Answer:
Gretel disliked her father, brother, and even the lawyer because they are all males trying to dominate over the female gender and putting themselves superior to the females.
Explanation:
Garrison Keillor's adaptation "Gretel" revolves around the character of Gretel from the "Hansel and Gretel" story. But in this adaptation, Gretel is presented as a feminist, and in contrast with the patriarchal society that diminishes and looks down on the female gender.
Gretel dislikes her father, brother, and even their lawyer because they are all males, trying to make her get less money from the profits they will get after selling their book. Her father and brother are typical males who dominate over the females while their lawyers put her on a spell and made her sign another contract. This contract agrees to pay her less money from the book sale and also even declares the book as mere fiction. And in her zeal to fight for equality, she had to oppose the patriarchal mindset of the men in her life.
