The primary concern of this paper is with investigating the ways in which mothers and motherhood are represented in The Winter’s Tale, with focus on the major women characters Hermione and Paulina.. Unlike his other romances in which mothers and motherhood are very often under-represented, misrepresented, or simply not represented at all, Shakespeare in The Winter’s Tale foregrounds the issues of mothers and motherhood through the two principal female characters. If Hermione, Queen of Sicilia, represents the creative motherhood that reproduces and nurtures younger generation, Paulina who functions as the queen’s surrogate mother and deputy represents the redemptive motherhood that embraces and heals the wounded individuals and the ailing society. While the young Hermione’s maternal body and her potent rhetoric unwittingly arouse and intensify Leontes’s patriarchal anxiety about the uncertainty of his paternity and his jealousy toward the maternal fertility, the old Paulina’s bodily gestures and rhetoric work to rehabilitate the patriarch-monarch Leontes who has been mentally stricken by his own fears, and his wife-queen Hermione who has been utterly devastated by Leontes’s tyranny. Featuring Leontes who has been immensely afflicted as a consequence of having been suspicious of his wife's fidelity and alienating her motherhood from the family and the society, Shakespeare gives us a warning about the inevitable peril that such forcible occlusion of mother and motherhood may bring about.
Abstract
The primary concern of this paper is with investigating the ways in which mothers and motherhood are represented in The Winter’s Tale, with focus on the major women characters Hermione and Paulina.. Unlike his other romances in which mothers and motherhood are very often under-represented, misrepresented, or simply not represented at all, Shakespeare in The Winter’s Tale foregrounds the issues of mothers and motherhood through the two principal female characters. If Hermione, Queen of Sicilia, represents the creative motherhood that reproduces and nurtures younger generation, Paulina who functions as the queen’s surrogate mother and deputy represents the redemptive motherhood that embraces and heals the wounded individuals and the ailing society. While the young Hermione’s maternal body and her potent rhetoric unwittingly arouse and intensify Leontes’s patriarchal anxiety about the uncertainty of his paternity and his jealousy toward the maternal fertility, the old Paulina’s bodily gestures and rhetoric work to rehabilitate the patriarch-monarch Leontes who has been mentally stricken by his own fears, and his wife-queen Hermione who has been utterly devastated by Leontes’s tyranny. Featuring Leontes who has been immensely afflicted as a consequence of having been suspicious of his wife's fidelity and alienating her motherhood from the family and the society, Shakespeare gives us a warning about the inevitable peril that such forcible occlusion of mother and motherhood may bring about.
