| Summary | "The Mother" by Pearl S. Buck is a novel written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around the life of a young mother living in a rural setting who is dedicated to her family, including her husband, children, and elderly mother-in-law. Throughout the opening chapters, themes of motherhood, hard work, and the struggles of rural life begin to emerge, setting the groundwork for exploring the dynamics within the family as well as the challenges they face. The beginning of the novel introduces the mother as she tends to her household tasks in a small farmhouse, highlighting her strength, dedication, and the challenges of managing both family and farm life. The old mother-in-law, who is partly blind and dependent, often engages in reminiscing about the past, while the young mother juggles her duties alongside raising children and tending to the farm. As the narrative unfolds, we see her tender interactions with her children, her reflections on the burdens of motherhood, and hints of underlying tensions with her husband, who appears more focused on personal pleasures outside of the home. This opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the family's relationships and the matriarch's unwavering love amid growing strains and hardships.
