1. The impotent child embodied he antithesis of the bestial old man, who constantly gloated about blowing up impediments

The meaning of "blowing up impediments" is unclear. Even after you stated "being powerfull and blowing up things," it is still rather vague.

Also, I'm not sure how the child is the antithesis of the old man.
