Summary/Abstract: The screenplay of the film Autumn Sonata by Ingmar Bergman and the novel The Piano Player by Elfriede Jelinek deal with the complicated relationship between a mother and a daughter. The mother gives life to the daughter by bearing her but from this moment on she begins to destroy her personality. It seems that in a world composed of male and female elements there is no more place for the daughters that are treated by the mothers either like parts of themselves or like a third sex. In both texts the aggression caused by the mothers is connected with the music which reveals that their self-realization takes place at the daughters’ expense.
