Stepfather
A stepfather or stepdad is a non-biological male parent married to one's preexisting parent. A stepfather-in-law is a stepfather of one's spouse. Children from his spouse's previous unions are known as his stepchildren. Culture Though less common in literature than stereotypical evil stepmothers, there are also cases of evil ''stepfathers'', such as in the fairy tales ''The Gold-Bearded Man'' (in a plot usually featuring a cruel father) and ''The Little Bull-Calf''.

Such tales include ''The Prince and the Princess in the Forest'' and ''The Blue Belt'', although the tales of this type can also feature a different female relation, such as the stepsister in ''The Three Princes and their Beasts''. In fiction, evil stepfathers include Claudius in ''Hamlet'' (though his role as uncle is more emphasized), Walter Parks Thatcher in ''Citiz ...
