Paper Summary:

The paper offers a discussion of the aspects of motherhood that inhibit artistry, as exemplified in the Nella Larsen novel "Quicksand," particularly in the conclusion. The paper notes the prevalence of the theme throughout literature.

From the Paper:

"The struggle between motherhood and artistry can be traced throughout much of literature. The image of motherhood as a smothering and suffocating force can be seen in Chopin's "Awakening," in Ibsen's" A Doll's House," in Edith Summers "Kelley's Weeds" and in most of the poetry of both Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. This is of course only a small sampling of evidence of the prevalence of this theme."
