FEATURES AND UNIQUE MANIFESTATIONS OF IMAGE OF “MOTHER” IN WORLD LITERATURE

Abstract

Since ancient times the image of “mother” has occupied the central role in literature. Every society created its own hero attributing her unique features. Daniel Defoe, a representative of English realism, created an “indifferent mother”, French romantic Victor Hugo created an image of a sacrificial mother, and Nar Dos created Sarah and Shushan, who committed the worst of the sins – the infanticide.
