Julian’s Mother
Character Analysis

A descendant of formerly slave-owning family that fell on hard times, she raised her son Julian by herself. Julian’s Mother laments integration and the cultural change sweeping the South as the death of a regal tradition, both in her family and in her region. Her deeply bigoted attitudes annoy Julian to no end and cause him to fight with her often. The narrator describes her as childlike, almost feeble-minded. Julian’s Mother values manners and appearances and loves cute children of all races so much that she has a habit of gifting them coins. But her gentility cannot hide her repugnant attitudes towards black people. Ultimately, her inability to internalize the surging cause of equality leads her to be struck by Carver’s Mother and suffer a stroke.
