Mother reproduces the process of Russian people's awakening and workers' movement in the early 20th century, and describes many unforgettable images of proletarian revolutionaries. In particular, it focuses on shaping the tall image of a mother-Nirovna. She lives at the bottom of a heavy society. As a mother, she places all her hopes on the future, and this dependence is partly manifested through the continuation of life. After the death of her husband, the mother was full of dependence on her son and regarded him as the hope of the future. In addition, Gorky linked "mother" with new life, highlighting the creativity of motherhood, holding that mother is the creator of new life, "mother is the creator and protector" and "mother always opposes death".
