summary of the story mother and son by guy de maupassant​

Answer 1

Answer:

Within Guy de Maupassant’s “Mother and Son” story, the Mother endures various forms of injustices at the hands of three of her male counterparts. For example, the Father rejects the Mother’s Lover, thus forcing the Mother to marry a man she does not love. Likewise, by kissing the Mother on the lips openly, thus causing the Son to leave, the Lover does an injustice against the Mother. Similarly, by refusing the Mother the opportunity to find love, the Son does an injustice to the Mother. This essay analyses “Mother and Son” to highlight specific injustices that the Mother endures based on the following aspects: the Father rejects the Mother’s Lover, thus forcing the Mother to marry a man she does not love; the Lover kisses the Mother on the lips openly, thus causing the Son to leave; and the Son refuses the Mother the opportunity to find love.

Considering that the Father rejects the Mother’s Lover, thus forcing the Mother to marry a man she does not love, the Mother experiences injustice. In this regard, during her youth, the Mother loves a certain young man. To formalize this relationship, the Mother brings this Lover to the Father. Arguing that this Lover is not sufficiently wealthy, the Father rejects the Mother’s Lover. Such rejection leaves the Mother with no alternative but to marry a wealthy man whom she does not love (Maupassant, n.d.). This scenario underlines the Father’s injustice against the Mother. Such injustice causes the Father to fail to consider the interests of the Mother. This bias prompts the Father to reject the Mother’s Lover. From this analysis, it is clear that the Mother endures an injustice at the hands of the Father.
