I guess I have trouble viewing a parent wanting to save their child’s life as being selfish. But, I do agree his desire to save his son’s life lead him to making morally questionable decisions.
I don’t consider him an evil man. If there was only one spot in the wardrobe, I believe he would have made Pinocchio stay behind. But since there were two spots, he felt there was no harm in letting them both go and was willing to lie to save his son’s life.
I think it would be hard to be told you have to build a magical wardrobe that can save your son’s life but you can’t use it. That ranks right up there with someone telling you to dig your own grave before they push you into it.
