Summary/Abstract: The mother figure is very dominant in the literary critic devoted to Proust's work and the writing of his great novel was born from the symbolic image that is based on this relationship, that this figure is an inescapable fact in the analysis of any theme of the author`s work. Therefore, we will pay attention to this issue, but we will begin from the early writings which mark Proust`s ambivalent relationship to this question: both the attraction and the repulsion towards the mother, as a complementary part of the individuation of the boy presented to us at the beginning of the narrative.
