The most traditional depiction is that of the mother as a moral anchor. In literature, the archetype reaches its apotheosis in , Miss Havisham’s twisted maternal instincts, and most purely, in John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath . Ma Joad is the earth mother made flesh. As the Joad family disintegrates on the road to California, she holds the splinters together. “Woman can change better’n a man,” Steinbeck writes. “Ma stood still in the door… and she was the strength of the family.” Here, the son (Tom Joad) derives his revolutionary compassion directly from her. She is not just a parent; she is a moral compass.
