Helped by Her Son During Abusive Relationship in The Mother by Maxim Gorky

She is willing to stand up to her spouse in order to make sure there are no complications during the birth of her second child. She is slowly realizing what it is to be feminist due to the fact that she is willing to try anything to convince Juan Pedro. Although she agrees to lie about her bruises saying “she fell down the front steps” (Cisneros, 226), it is a step in the right direction to feminism. Ultimately, the visit to the doctor allows her to receive help. She is given a chance to escape. She accepts the opportunity as she begins to find out that she no longer has to take the abuse from Juan Pedro.

"The Mother," by Gwendolyn Brooks, is a sorrowful, distressing poem about a mother who has experienced numerous abortions. While reading the poem, you can feel the pain, heartache, distress and grief she is feeling. She is both remorseful and regretful; nevertheless, she explains that she had no other alternative. It is a sentimental and heart wrenching poem where she talks about not being able to experience or do things with the children that she aborted -- things that people who have children often take for granted. Perhaps this poem is a reflection of what many women in society are feeling.

shows the mother?s inability to see her daughter?s desire to go march as anything more than a childish fancy. The mother?s attitude toward the march is an unreasonable fear for her child?s safety, a state of mind that alludes to her detachment from the events and opinions that fuel the march. When compared to that of the child, the mother?s approach to the march is that of one who is uninformed and unconcerned.

Something to love. Something to hang onto.’” This shows how even that Lena may not approve of my decision to keep the baby she understands why I would want to. It shows that light can come out of darkness, because this baby will be my everything. Even though he or she was conceived during such horrible times she is going to be the reason I want to survive this war. However that’s not my only reason to believe that light can come out of darkness. I told Lena the story of how it was in the ghetto when my mother was living. I said, “When we’d return from work, she’d make us dinner, She always told me she wasn't hungry. Shed take a few bites and say, ‘Here, Karolina, you eat the rest.’..... My mother sacrificed herself and starved so I could live.” Before the war I despised my mother. She was a drunk, who never did anything for me, but when we came to ghetto she showed me how much she loved me and how strong she was. This showed me that light can come out of darkness because these circumstances that we endured brought out the good in my mother. The mother who sacrificed herself for me to survive. On top of that I was lucky to find a good man that I loved who was willing to break the law for

Through her tone of fearfulness in questioning motherhood, Esch realizes that becoming a mother will be hard work and must prepare herself for the challenges ahead of her. The influential characters of nature reveal the burden of motherhood while, at the same

The mother is a complex creature proven throughout the story. These actions all help express why mothers and their presence are so important. As shown, they are very crucial in the development of younger beings. The mother is a helper by nature, impacting by teaching its child to survive at life. Independence is the arch lesson that is taught by the mother. Harlow enduringly grasps the cardinal meaning of why it is inhumane to destroy any kind of maternal bond. Mothers are not people to depend on, but are people to make depending not

The protagonist, Eloisa, is trapped and controlled to an extreme, to the point where the only part of the outside world she gets to see are the people she sees at church. Eloisa wants nothing more than to find a man who will see her for who she is, no matter what her mother thinks. When she invites the peddler’s wife inside so that she can buy a dress her mother stands at the door without moving, she blocked any access to the house, her despotic tone of voice containing a quality stronger than her presence there before the closed door. Her look was mocking” (Jara 216). This shows how restricting her mother is; how Eloisa is so isolated that her mother does not let her bring anyone into the house. After Eloisa is given the dress she is told “‘[not to] show it to [her] mother, don’t tell her a thing. She’s capable of ripping it up… [that she is] too old to be afraid of her mother’”(221). It is obvious that Eloisa is scared of what her mother thinks; that her mother is so overpowering that she is not allowed to make her own decisions and have her own thoughts.

This reading has a very strong meaning to it. I thought that it was very wrong for the mother to beat up her daughter, and the young boy beat up his dog, but the one important character, Ivan, made me think twice. He seemed like he is so old, since he have been through a lot, and knows the past history. He taught the reader many things, and wanted to point out many things about philosophy and life. First, he explained how when people are hurt, they will also hurt others too. For example, he explained how the young boy abused his dog, but he also announced to the reader that his father was so mad at him for doing that, so he killed his own son with the dogs, in front of the mother’s eyes. Also, Ivan explained to Alyosha this one very important

The mother was akin to a doll; she was beautiful, fragile, and unargumentative. Her submissive personality type made her a commodity; she was valued not for achievements or usefulness, but for her perfect behavior and classic beauty. The way she dressed and ate made her the last of the true aristocrats, or as Naoji describes, the “genuine article” (4)  and she had high sign-exchange value in herself.  But after the death of her husband, Kazuko’s father, it is clear that she had little practical skill, a fact even Kazuko admits. “Mother understands less of money matters than a child... “ (17). “Naoji and I had taken advantage of her to grow up without concerning ourselves about anything. Now Mother no longer had any money” (20). This shows that the

He walked down stairs and I waited in the shadows as he looked around fearful calling my name. “Mircalla, sweetie come back before I have to write to your mother.” I snarled and lunged at him from behind smashing the side of his face on the stone floor. I chained him up in the same fashion he did to me but I wasn’t as generous with starvation. I chained him down and locked the door never returning. A few years later I had gotten word of his death and that the Vordenburg family had it out for the Karnstein’s but it didn’t matter to me. I would never be put in a situation like that again. I will now have all the control and never let what’s left of my heart fall to sick ways of Mother. It concerned me greatly to know she had

In the novel, fatherhood seems to represent two intensely important ideas: identity and responsibility. These ideas are so profoundly important because they are that which Yakov has to accept if he is ever to escape his suffering. He must accept himself, as a Jew and as a human. He must accept his responsibility to his wife and family (however broken), his community, his past, and himself. He longs to reach some kind of sustaining spiritual and emotional plateau; he longs for security and safety; he longs for a child. He is denied all of this. Arguably, this story is one of a man growing into self-acceptance through adversity.

However, at the end of the story this stereotype is completely contrasted following the passing of the mother. When the boy, who is now a grown man and father, returns home to his newborn daughter it is he who displays a nurturing and affectionate relationship between a father and his daughter. This role reversal developed by Munsch effectively casts aside the stereotype that women are better suited to raise a child, and demonstrates that affection and the ability to nurture are not qualities that are able to be defined by a persons gender. Munsch instead shows how these qualities are learned by a person and are displayed as they mature with age. Munsch effectively represents this progression though maturity when showing, the love the boy has for his mother is not absent during his childhood, but simply something he does not display as well as he does when he becomes an adult.

It proves to be indifferent before the circumstance, the lawyer designated by the judge, since Meursault, it was not interesting to him to have one, interferes very much the situation of its mother, with the crime that the protagonist has committed, consequently, despises the lawyer from the beginning. The judge does a series of questions to him, this one simply abstains to answer with the truth, for colder that it is, therefore the judge detests it, since not even with the crucifix it shakes. He realizes with the past of the months that the absence of freedom, non-being able to see its wife, non-be able to smoke, there were things that he needed to him and he was missing when the days were very boring, the only thing that it unites in finding there was the way of losing the

The poem “My Mother’s Face” by Brenda Serotte depicts the difficulty of a mother and daughter with a close bond trying to cope with a difficult situation of becoming an adult. “My Mother’s face” talks about the women’s state of affairs, the words used in the poem indicate that the mother is going through a difficult situation and the speaker can feel it through her close observation and on her own accord.
