Answer 2

Answer:

The play Mother’s Day by J B Priestly reflects the reality of how mothers have no voice in their own family.

Explanation:

The main issues presented by the play are:

• The mother of the house is never given the respect that she deserves.
• She is an unpaid servant whom everybody takes for granted.
• The mistress of the house should assert her position in the family rather than allowing to be oppressed.
• These issues are significant even in the contemporary society, which the author presents in a comical and satirical matter.
• The issue is resolved in the play by the transformation of the personalities when the mother stops her duties.
• It delivers an important social message to appreciate the effort of mothers in the house and never treat them like a maid destined to toil her life.
