George's Mother - Modern Classics 168 Book Description

Stephen Crane wrote his most striking stories and described the invisible face of the city between 1892 and 1894, when he resided in New York. George's Mother, published in 1896, also takes place in the Bowery area, which was known for crime and corruption at that time. It tells the story of the daily lives of a mother who is worried about her son and George Kelcey, who actually cares about his mother even though he has a careless attitude. On the one hand, his mother's struggle with George's tendency to alcohol, and on the other hand, George's dilemma of nightlife and church forms the basis of the text. The old woman and her son live in the same building as the Johnsons in Maggie the Street Girl, and we even cross paths with familiar characters. However, George and his mother have a more loving relationship than their neighbors. The mother constantly worries about and protects her son, while his son dreams of a relatively independent and free life. Stephen Crane has become one of the important representatives of the realism movement with his works about ordinary people and life in the slums. He uses a symbolic and highly ironic style when describing the helplessness of the individual in the face of bad and unfavorable social conditions.
