A unique layer of Fear is its examination of class and parenthood. Nicole’s father, Steve (William Petersen), is a successful architect and a symbol of liberal, hands-off parenting. He dismisses David as a "greaser" and a "loser" based on class prejudice rather than genuine concern. Ironically, Steve’s failure is not his prejudice but his passivity. He fails to set boundaries, allowing David to infiltrate the family home.
