Mother as a Character in World Prose Literature: Research and Analysis

Abstract

Mother is a fundamental and universal character in human society, civilization and literature. In The world prose literature, mother is not only a biological relation but also a representative of cultural continuity, moral training, psychological formation and social values. In prose genres such as story, novel, novelette, fiction, drama and non-fiction such as autobiography, biography, sketch, essay, column, fiction and non-fiction, the role of mother has been shaped under different periods of social structures and intellectual trends. In The world prose literature, mother is a character which is taking evolutionary journey. From the ideal and sacred mother of classical literature to the complex questioning and sometimes controversial mother of modern and post-modern prose, this character mirrors the intellectual and cultural changes of human society. The role of the mother helps us understand that literature is not just the story of an individual but the overall expression of society, history, and ideas.
