This play has been presented by J. B. Priestley who tried to throw a light on the status of the women in a clever way. The author talks about the ways a housewife provides all the essential services of her family but she gets nothing in return. The family members always take her for granted and ignores all her requirements. No one from the family cares to appreciate her efforts she is making.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As you go through the in-depth explanations which have been shaped by the experts you will understand the importance of this issue and bringing changes in the personality of husbands, sons, and daughters is not enough.

How does the play resolve the issues? Do you agree with the resolution?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The play raises many serious issues. The first and foremost is proper appreciation of a housewife\u2019s role and responsibilities. Those who work eight hours a day and forty hours a week treat the housewife as an unpaid domestic servant, who must carry out their orders. They neither request her nor thank her for her services. The second issue is the reciprocity of love and gratitude towards the mother or wife.<\/li>\n<li>The husband, son and daughter leave the lady of the house alone every night and go out to enjoy themselves in their several ways. They do not take any notice of her and have become thoughtless and selfish. The mother\u2019s excessive love, care and promptness to serve them also spoil them.<\/li>\n<li>The problems the play raises are serious. The treatment is of course, comic. The playwright adopts an unusual method to resolve the issues. He takes the help of magic bf the East. Incantation of a magical spell helps in the interchange of the personalities. Now Mrs Pearson, with the strong and sinister personality of Mrs Fitzgerald, gives rough treatment to the daughter, son and husband respectively. Her stern looks and commanding tone suggests to them that she can be really tough.<\/li>\n<li>The spoilt member are brought round by the heavy dose of exposure of reality to them. They agree to stay and help in preparing the supper while the housewife has a talk with her husband.<br \/>The resolution of the issues seems far-fetched and unnatural but extreme means have to be adopted in disaster management.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"question-2-if-you-were-to-write-these-issues-today-what-are-some-of-the-incidents-examples-and-problems-that-you-would-think-of-as-relevant\"><\/span><strong>Question 2:<br \/><\/strong>If you were to write these issues today, what are some of the incidents, examples and problems that you would think of as relevant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>Various responses are possible One such response is given below:<br \/>The incidents of unfair treatment to the fair sex at home, at work, in public transport and elsewhere will prove handy. The examples of exploitation of female workers with lower wages, harassment by seniors, indecent remarks, eve-teasing and molestation can highlight the problems of social inequality that women face in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Even in the twenty first century women face the same problems in spite of the talk of women empowerment. The poor housewives have to bear the physical torment and mental anguish at the hands of bullish husbands who boast of their masculinity by inflicting physical violence, barbs and taunts on the defense less women. Examples of rapes and sexual harassment which hug the limelight in daily newspapers can also be included to highlight the problems of insecurity of women in modem society.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"question-3-is-drama-a-good-medium-for-conveying-a-social-message-discuss\"><\/span><strong>Question 3:<br \/><\/strong>Is drama a good medium for conveying a social message? Discuss.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>Yes, drama is certainly a good medium for conveying a social message. Direct moralizing is often resented and usually ignored. Drama is a presentation of a slice of life through characters placed in various situations. The attention of the spectators centers round their actions and reactions. Most of them feel fully involved with the protagonists. The working out of the theme generally leaves a message\u2014sometimes obvious and explicit but in most of the cases, indirect and implicit.<\/p>\n<p>The social message of these plays seems to come out of the interactions of the characters and their traits of character. The victory of evil over good is usually portrayed indirectly. These day we find many plays centred around themes creating social awareness such as evils of drinking and smoking; dangers of pollution, child labour, the decreasing female ratio and need to empower women.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"question-4-discuss-in-groups-plays-or-films-with-a-strong-message-of-social-reform-that-you-have-watched\"><\/span><strong>Question 4:<br \/><\/strong>Discuss in groups plays or films with a strong message of social reform that you have watched.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>For group discussion at class level. There can be varied responses. One such response is given below: The latest film I have watched recently is \u2018SWADESH\u2019. It has a strong message of social reform. It tells the story of an Indian scientist at NASA (America) who visits his ancestral home in India. The poor condition of the villagers and lack of basic facilities fills him with deep agony.<\/p>\n<p>He resigns his job in America and returns to his native country (Swadesh) to begin his work of rural uplift. He gives the villagers a message that self-help is the best help and we cannot depend for everything on the Government. This remote village is plunged in darkness after sunset as there is no electricity. With the help of a few villagers, the scientist is able to produce hydroelectricity and light the village homes. The water can be used for irrigation purposes also. Thus the economic and social condition of the villagers undergoes a sea change.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"more-questions-solved\"><\/span>MORE QUESTIONS SOLVED<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a-short-answer-type-questions\"><\/span>A.

Mrs Pearson gives him a taste of his own medicine by saying that all of them do talk like that. If there\u2019s something at home they don\u2019t want to do, they don\u2019t do it. If it is something at their work, they get the union to bar it.

How has it been worked out?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>The theme of the play is the status of women in their own household. The housewife serves the members of her family with complete devotion, sincerity and love. However, she is never given the regard, attention or thanks due to her. Her leniency and eagerness to please everyone reduces her to the rank of an unpaid domestic servant in her own house. Instead of being politely requested for a favour, she is ordered to do it.<\/p>\n<p>She gets no thanks in return. The theme is worked out by portrayal of the Pearson family. Mrs Pearson is the harassed mother. Her daughter Doris, son Cyril and husband George take her services for granted and have become thoughtless and selfish. The interchange of personalities and the harsh treatment meted out to them by the personality of Mrs Fitzgerald (in the body of Mrs Pearson) reforms them and they obey the mother willingly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"question-2-what-impression-do-you-form-of-mrs-annie-pearson\"><\/span><strong>Question 2:<br \/><\/strong>What impression do you form of Mrs Annie Pearson?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>Mrs Pearson is the main character in the play \u2018Mother\u2019s Day\u2019. She is a pleasant but worried-looking woman in her forties. She speaks in a light, flurried sort of tone, with a touch of suburban cockney. She loves her husband and children very much and runs after them all the time. Her excessive love and care have spoilt them and they have become thoughtless and selfish.<\/p>\n<p>She feels neglected and lonely but lacks courage to discuss things with them. Perhaps she hates any unpleasantness as well. She is not willing to act as a tough mom as she is nervous and fluttering by nature. She is so tender-hearted that she is shocked to see the rough treatment meted out to her children. She decides to change back to her original personality to deal with her family herself. She is indeed a loving and affectionate mother and a devoted wife.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"question-3-%e2%80%9cthe-shock-treatment-makes-the-thoughtless-and-selfish-persons-realize-the-real-position-of-the-lady-of-the-house%e2%80%9d-how-far-do-you-agree-with-the-statement-give-reasons-for-your-answer\"><\/span><strong>Question 3:<br \/><\/strong>\u201cThe shock treatment makes the thoughtless and selfish persons realize the real position of the lady of the house.\u201d How far do you agree with the statement? Give reasons for your answer.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>I fully agree with the aforesaid statement. Drastic situations need drastic remedies. The thoughtless, selfish and spoilt members of the Pearson family do not understand the language of love and affection. Mrs Pearson with Mrs Fitzgerald\u2019s bold and dominating personality and her toughness makes them realize their own state. Doris is the first to learn her lesson in civility and politeness.<\/p>\n<p>The criticism of her boy friend seems quite unexpected to her\u2014perhaps more than the non-compliance of her orders of ironing the yellow silk dress. Doris has tearful eyes. Cyril is also told to help himself. The mother\u2019s declaration that she too will henceforth work forty hours a week, have the weekends off and go somewhere to enjoy herself come as a shock treatment. The balloon of her husband\u2019s ego is punctured by disclosing to him how people at the club make fun of him. In the end all the three members come round and show their willingness to obey the mother\u2019s command.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"question-4-write-a-note-on-the-role-of-mrs-fitzgerald-in-the-play\"><\/span><strong>Question 4:<br \/><\/strong>Write a note on the role of Mrs Fitzgerald in the play.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>Mrs Fitzgerald plays a very important role in the play. She is introduced as a fortune teller and the next-door neighbor of the Pearson&#8217;s. It is through the initial conversation between her and Mrs Pearson that we come to know the problems that Mrs Pearson faces. Mrs Fitzgerald analyses the situation quite objectively and becomes the playwright\u2019s mouthpiece.<\/p>\n<p>She also suggest the ways and methods of tackling the situation. Since Mrs Pearson does not have the guts to stand for her right, Mrs Fitzgerald suggests a novel approach\u2014exchange of personalities. Now as Mrs Pearson, with the personality Mrs Fitzgerald, she puts the plan of reformation in action. She smokes, drinks and plays cards. All this is unusual for the family. She further shocks them by being tough with them in word and action. She asks them to look after themselves.<\/p>\n<p>She clearly tells them that she has already worked for more than eight hours that day. She tells them plainly how they behave at home and workplace. She is equally blunt with Mr George Pearson, who goes away every evening to club, leaving his wife alone at home. She reveals to him how the people at club make a fun of him. In short, she makes them realize their responsibility towards the mother. In the end, she performs the exchange of personalities once again. Thus she is the main spring of initial action, climax and denouement.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"question-5-the-play-%e2%80%98mother%e2%80%99s-day%e2%80%99-is-a-humorous-and-satirical-depiction-of-the-status-of-the-woman-in-a-family-bring-out-briefly-the-elements-of-humor-and-satire\"><\/span><strong>Question 5:<br \/><\/strong>The play \u2018Mother\u2019s Day\u2019 is a humorous and satirical depiction of the status of the woman in a family. Bring out briefly the elements of humor and satire.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>The play \u2018Mother\u2019s Day\u2019 treats a serious theme in a light-hearted manner. The humor in the play springs from an unusual situation where the personalities of two ladies change bodies. Their subsequent behaviour, which is in total contrast to their previous one, is a very powerful source of laughter. The ignorance of the characters about the personality they are facing also creates humor. Suggestive dialogues also provide a lot of fun. For example, consider the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cMrs Pearson if you had to live my life it wouldn\u2019t be so bad. You\u2019d have more fun as me than you\u2019ve had as you.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIt\u2019s that silly old bag from next door\u2014Mrs Fitzgerald.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cTicking her off now, are you, Annie?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThey call you Pompy-Ompy Pearson because they think you\u2019re so slow and pompous.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The actions, gestures and reactions of the characters also provide humor. The housewife being given orders, treated like dirt and forced to stay home every night while other members go out to amuse themselves is sharply contrasted with the position at the end of the play where she is the mistress of the house. Then play also satirizes the eight hour work culture and threats to go on strike. Even the housewife adopts this weapon.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"question-6-comment-on-the-ending-of-the-play-%e2%80%98mother%e2%80%99s-day%e2%80%99\"><\/span><strong>Question 6:<br \/><\/strong>Comment on the ending of the play \u2018Mother\u2019s Day\u2019.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>The play has a happy ending with a complete reversal of the initial situation. Mrs Pearson is now cheerful while the family looks anxiously at her. When she smiles, they feel much relieved and smile back at her. None of them is going out.<br \/>For the first time, perhaps she tells the members of the family what they should do. Instead of behaving timidly, she looks sharply at the family and asks if they have any objections. George is the first to yield.<\/p>\n<p>He agrees to do whatever she says. Still smiling, she suggests that they should have a nice family game of rummy and then the children could get the supper ready while she has a talk with their father. George supports her and looks enquiringly at the children. Cyril hastily approves the proposal while Doris agrees hesitatingly.<\/p>\n<p>A sharp command: \u201cWhat Speak up!\u201d does the trick and Doris agrees. Mrs Pearson bids good bye to Mrs Fitzgerald and smilingly asks her to come again soon. The ending seems quite natural. It also leaves a message for the mothers. They should assert themselves.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"question-7-write-a-note-on-the-title-of-the-play-%e2%80%98mother%e2%80%99s-day%e2%80%99\"><\/span><strong>Question 7:<br \/><\/strong>Write a note on the title of the play \u2018Mother\u2019s Day\u2019.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>The title of the play is quite appropriate. It sums up the theme of the play. It suggests that the action of the play revolves round a mother. The playwright confronts us at the outset with the problems the mother faces from her grown up children and their father. The novel technique employed to tackle the spoilt children and the grown up man is quite amusing and thought provoking.<\/p>\n<p>The bold and dominating mother acts tough with the children and makes them realize the need of proper attention towards their mother. They are made to learn lesson in courtesy and polite behaviour not only towards the mother but also towards the visiting neighbor. The mother certainly has her day as the children learn to treat her properly. The supper being prepared by the children, their stay at home and the family game of rummy is a rare gift that the mother receives on this important day.<\/p>\n<p>We have covered a detailed guide on <a href=\"http:\/\/cbseacademic.nic.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBSE<\/a> NCERT Solutions For Class 11 English Snapshots Chapter 5 Mother\u2019s Day.
