Both 1 and 2 are fine.
3 is fine if "Father" is referring to your own father.
4 is not fine, but would be if you wrote "the father" there. Then you'd be referring to someone else's father.
5 is fine if you're referring to someone by name or title..
6 is not fine, but would be if you wrote "the master" there. Then you'd be referring to someone's master in general.
1. He is master of the situation.
2. He is the master of the situation.
........
In dictionaries, I could see #1, not #2. Can't we use 'the' before 'master' here?
3. I met Father on the street.
4. I met father on the street.
5. I like Master very much.
6. I like master very much.
...........
I think #3 and #4 are correct. What about #5 and #6? Can we use 'master' like 'father'?
