When contemporary當代的 women writers write about mother-daughter relationships, they often put an emphasis強調 on forging創造 a connection between them.
In their writing, even though雖然mothers and daughters do have ambivalence矛盾 toward each other, they are often capable of resolving解決 this problem and finally recognizing their bond聯繫 as mothers and daughters.
Yet, when it comes to writing about mother-son relationships, it becomes a completely完全地 different story.
Most women writers stress強調 the alienation疏離感 between mothers and sons owing to由於the fact that they are of different gender.
Therefore因此, when women writers write about their experiences of raising sons, they usually find themselves crossing over into a different territory領域.
Feelings of apprehension擔憂 and distress arise產生 when mothers discover to their astonishment驚訝 that their sons have become a total stranger to them especially when the sons have stepped into adulthood.
In addition除此之外, since mothers are constrained拘謹 by the society at large普遍地、全體地 to avoid being too close to their sons in fear that they might smother悶死 their sons, contemporary women writers have depicted描繪 mostly the separation分離 between them but have also unveiled公開、揭開面紗 how mothers come to terms with this separation from their sons.
Take the two contemporary當代 novels, Margaret Forster’s Mothers’ Boys and Rosellen Brown’s Before and After前后, as examples.
With a common theme on mother-son relationships, both novels portray描繪 a similar incident事件 of a son who is suspected of committing a murder and how this unexpected event has profoundly深刻 harmed the mother-son relationships.
Coincidently, both novels have an identical完全相同、極為相似 scene with a mother-son encounter偶然相遇 in a juvenile prison.
In this confrontation衝突 between mothers and sons, mothers have to their bewilderment混亂 come to realize that their sons have become unknown to them.
And as these mother-son narratives故事 continue to develop, the mothers and sons in these novels finally separate離開 from each other.
The only difference between these novels is their contrast對比 in treating the mother-son relationship.
Forster收養的 presents the mother as the one who takes up her traditional role by accepting passively this separation from son and waiting patiently until the son returns one day whereas儘管 Brown describes a mother who exercises her agency and power to deal with her son’s act of crime.
Later, she not only fulfills her social responsibility as a mother but also decides her way of handling the mother-son separation.
Despite that the two texts illustrate闡明 two conflicting ways of reading and writing mother-son relationships, they also inform告知 us that there exists a powerful reading and writing against the grain.
