Lady Maude's Mania

The story revolves around the Earl of Barmouth, his wife Maude, and his children. In this text, Viscount Diphoos, the Earl's son, was against how his father was treated in his home. Excerpt: «Then do, for goodness' sake, take your position. It hurts me, dad, it does indeed, to see you humbled so before the servants. I'll pay proper respect to her ladyship, and support her in everything that's just, but when it comes to my old father being made the laughing-stock of everybody in the house, I—I—there, damme, sir, I rebel against it.»

Based on this text, will the Viscount rebel against his mother?
