The purpose of this paper is to obeserve Elizabeth Gaskell's images of her ideal mother focusing on fourof her short stories. In Bessy's Trouble at Home, Gaskll described the figure of mothers in families dominatd by paternity,which is common in the Victorian era. She created Hand and Heart, with her own views of education infamilies. In Lizzie Leigh, she wrote each form of motherhood of three women : Lizzie, Mrs Leigh, andSusan. She opposed the convicton of the Victorian era--fallen women cannot do otherwise than die--byrestoring the heroine Lizzie, a 'fallen woman'. Although she looses her baby, she manages to come back tothe society after the struggling days. Through The Moorland Cottage, Gaskell made an assertion that onecannot learn the ethics without exchanging true love deeply rooted to motherhood with his or her family.
