ABSTRACT

Maternity becomes an increasingly prominent theme in literature works. "Maternal worship", a traditional culture eclipsed by patriarchal culture, has been paid attention to and highlighted by more writers. They sing the praises of motherhood, but they also shackle it. In Little Fires Everywhere, in addition toeulogizing maternity, Celeste Ng also breaks the myth of perfect motherhood, restores the human nature of a mother, and reveals the female consciousness of a mother. This unique maternal writing and narrative strategy of "absent father" show her reflection on maternal existence and her self-examination of female soul and value.
