  Abstract:  This article focuses on the mother-child relationship as presented in the novels of J.M.G. Le Clézio and Göran Tunström. The absence or the death of the father transforms the inner thoughts of the characters, leading to the impossibility to connect to the parent that is alive. It is important to analyze how the image of the mother transforms itself from a loving, caring person to a marginalized human being. This transformation can change the moral development of the children, leading to either isolation or integration in the community. Trying to fill in the gaps left by the missing father, the characters will imitate, substitute or abandon their mothers in order to find their inner self.

Key Words: mother-child relationship, identity, fatherhood, communication, intergenerational Conflict
