Abstract
With a special attention to the effects of his different mothering environments on the formation of the children's identity and sociality, and on their growing up into a mature personality under various types of mothering attitudes, this thesis is to tell the significance of the mothering attitude in Faulkner's novel, Light in August. Lena Grove's "tolerant mothering attitude" in Light in August accepts the existence of things as they are and takes the substance over the form. The message for the writer to deliver must be Lena's "tolerance and holding mothering attitude environment." And it is the most required for a child to establish his or her identity and sociality as a human being and to grow up into a mature person.
