Mother, the immortal classic of Maxim Gorky, gives a broad
and generalized picture of life in Russia on the eve of the Revolution
of 1905. Pelageya is the wife of a factory worker who ignores the political
upheaval in her country in favor of caring for her personal life. She
represents hundreds of workers who are concerned with living their lives. Her
son Paval takes a different path and joins the revolution inspiring many
Russians who were living under a capitalistic society in Russia . She
also takes an active participation in her people's struggle for justice.
Through her work, she frees herself from the cowed state into which she has
been beaten, and her simple motherly concern for her son becomes a motherly
concern for all oppressed.
