Yeah, considering the whole "trying to kill him" thing, I'm going to go with no.

i don't know...
just because a parent tried to kill their child doesn't mean that they don't love eachother. It's just a disfunctional relationship

Let me put it this way, had Auzla been born a boy Zuko would have been completely ignored.

Ozai only loves Zuko when he makes him look good...which is a very rare thing indeed...

^^That's not love..........not at all. I don't even think he LOVES Azula, I really don't think he knows what love is. I have a hard time believing that he even CARED for Zuko, even as a small child. He's hasn' t shown any affection for the boy seemingly past infantcy. No, what he shows for Zuko isn't conditional love, it's something even less than that. I'll have to search for exactly what I'm speaking of........there is a term, I'll find it.

The term you're looking for is "heartless *****"

lol Yep, if he loves anyone, it might be admirality... (Btw, that's what your newest karma was for--i like your sense of humor. ) Anyway, yeah, i'm not sure he really knows what love is. I agree with nandi in that he only cares (or seems to care) about Zuko when the latter makes his father look good. (It's probably the same with Azula, except that she has had a much easier time making Ozai proud of her, since she's as ruthless as he is, if not more so.) So yeah, i guess that's conditional love, or something even less... I'll be interested to see what term you come up with, dragonfly. You know, a thesaurus might be of help, if you're still having trouble thinking of it. Just a thought.

^^I have a friend who will know the exact word or phrase that I mean, she's awesome like that, she's a human dictionary. I hope to get in touch with her tomorrow, I'm pretty sure she's used it in a conversation we've had about her own parents, but my memory is not all that good and words not commonly used I don't remember for 5 minutes after I hear it! But, if she can't help, then I'll be hitting the books!

It might be "objective love"- where you don't actually love a person but may consider yourself to love them depending on the situation (at least I think that's what it is...)

^^Thanks for the luck, my friend knows what I mean, but the term escapes her, so we are now both hitting the books. We are having a contest to see who can get it first!

lol I'll be looking forward to seeing what term you come up with. It's always interesting trying to define a relationship that's kind of complicated... (And as a poet, defining the undefinable is my job. With the help of a thesaurus, of course...) Btw, you're welcome, nexus!
