Abstract

This study is written with the purpose of looking into motherhood and feminism in vietnam contemporary novel. In ＜Mother and Daughter＞ of Ma Van Khang, it is analyzed the mother Duen who think that female desire can be replaced to motherhood, and the daughter Hoa who can’t see mother and herself as independent existence. There are repressive factors about widow in vietnam society as metonymy of daughter and mother-in-law. In ＜Fragment of a Man＞ of Ho Anh Thai, it is studied the mother fixation relation between mother and son. The mother regarded her son as the be-all and end-all of her life, but she died due to the grief of loss that the son was captivated to daughter- in-law. Ho Anh Thai shows the awareness that wife(female) is secondary existence made by husband(male), through the monologue of son that widow is fragment of dead husband in battlefield. In ＜The Double Bed of Chua village＞ of Doan Le, three women was divorced because all of husband had new girlfriends. The speaker also got divorced without justification, but she only reflects on oneself without self-consciousness about woman’s life that was hidden in the institution of marriage. The women characters in the vietnam contemporary novel are the weak who still live with the scars of war, replace her identity by motherhood, or cannot have own language to speak in defense despite getting divorced one-sidedly. They don’t even recognize the existence of males(society) as a view of paternalistic power outside themselves.
