Shem and Ham

Noah’s son, Ham becomes very patient towards the end. He and Lila care for the rest of the community more than his father does. As Ham tries to insist to his father that he should allow more people on his ark instead of the animals, we see Ham as a very caring and generous person. However, he seems very impatient at the beginning as he sees his father so loyal to God but not really there for the rest of the people. Ham tries his best but in the end he sees there’s nothing he can do about it and so he waits for the rain to stop.
Shem, on the other hand, is a little less clever than his brother and his father often refers to him as stupid and scolds him for almost everything he does or says.
