Abstract

Both mothers’ images in novel “Madame Bovary” and “Cold Nights” are described as indifferent mothers, because of the maternal deficiency. The female gender struggle which is included in this sort of maternal deficiency is limited, while the most of its content is a fixed feeling, consisting of the desire of wonderful life and the dissatisfied attitudes toward the real life. This essay uses the parallel study as the method, comparing the two mothers’ images, in order get to know how this type of images are made and the reasons lying behind them.
