| Abstract | ||
| AbstractThe aim of this research is to compare between the figure of Niobe, one ofthe most popular figures in Greek Mythology, and Anna Fierling, the main figurein Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children. The research has arrived atthe fact that, despite the great difference between the two figures, yet, they aresimilar in many aspects. They both have committed a fatal mistake that they werepunished for by losing all their children and becoming childless. Therefore, theyhave both become symbols of the 'suffering mother'. But, Anna has had the abilityto go on with her business in spite of her grief, whereas, Niobe has surrendered toher sorrows. | ||
