Following is the discussion of the role of Sona-Mona's mother:

Explanation:

• The Mother of Sona-Mona is the narrator of the story. She is a prisoner and remains at the court awaiting the judgment. Her accusation was that she murdered her two girl children, Sona and Mona.  

• She was a wife figure, inspired by the Savitri-Satyavan story in Hindu Mythology and she wanted to turn into another Savitri who brought back her husband’s life from the Death God Yama.

• She loved her husband so much that she craved to die a hundred deaths so that he could be happy for a day.

• Her husband once got a fever that continued for a long time and he was taken to hospital. She pleaded to all the gods, but it was of no use. She grew to be a Savitri, begged to all the gods for the life spark of her husband.  

• The story depicts the helplessness of a woman and a mother. It mirrors the situation of an Indian woman left deprived of a husband. It is a wretched picture of poverty and hapless motherhood.
