Summary "Mother" by Owen Wister is a short story first published in the early 20th century. This narrative revolves around themes of love, societal expectations, and the complexities of relationships, as it recounts an episode from the life of the protagonist, Richard Field. The story is set during a house party with a gathering of friends, during which Richard is urged to share a tale from his life. In "Mother," Richard recounts how he became engaged to his wife, Ethel, and the challenges he faced due to societal pressures and his own self-doubt. The story unfolds as Richard reflects on his past as a struggling clerk, his aspirations of love, and the financial struggles that nearly kept him and Ethel apart. As he shares his tale, he highlights the importance of family and the emotional complexities of being a husband and soon-to-be father. Interwoven with humor and introspection, the story culminates in Richard's realization of what matters most—his love for Ethel and the bond they share, despite the external pressures seeking to dictate their lives. Ultimately, "Mother" explores how love can transcend circumstances and societal expectations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
