Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly Meme hosted by the Broke and Bookish. This week is a Mother's Day freebie and while I think most people will go positive I am choosing to do a list of worst moms in literature.
This is not because of any bitterness, I love my mom :) I just thought it might be fun.
1) Queen Gertrude- Hamlet
2) Charlotte Haze- Lolita
3 and 4) Corinne Dollanganger and Olivia Foxworth- Flowers in the Attic
5) Medea- Medea
6)Margaret White- Carrie
7) Mrs. Wormwood- Matilda
8) Mrs. Bennet- Pride and Prejudice
9) Mrs. Lisbon- The Virgin Suicides
10) The Other Mother- Coraline
Who do YOU think should make this list?
I totally agree with Mathildas mom being on this list.
ReplyDeleteI feel kind of bad for Mrs. Bennet - she wants her daughters to marry for wealth, not necessarily for love, but she's just a product of her time!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you on all these choices! I'm a new follower. I hope you get to stop by my <a href="http://cafinatedreads.com/top-ten-tuesday-10-love-inspired-books-about-motherhood-journeys/>TTT</a>!
ReplyDeleteUgh yes I disliked the other mother in Coraline so much. Great list.
ReplyDeleteCorinne and Mrs Wormwood are awful mothers. Great choices! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Definitely agree about Mrs. Wormwood!
