    A Critical Analysis of The

    Last Time I saw Mother


    By Arlene J. Chai
    I. Synopsis
    Caridad was summoned
    home by her mother,
    Thelma. Worrying that it
    was
    something very
    important for her mother
    never wrote to her
    before, Caridad
    immediately
    left Sydney to go back to
    the Philippines.She
    thought her mother had
    heard of her
    separation with Jaime
    and was problematic how
    to explain the situation to
    her relatives.
    Upon her arrival to
    their house, Caridad
    immediately proceeded
    to her
    mother’s room. There
    Thelma told her, that she
    was not her real mother.
    Caridad was
    shocked and was asked
    by Thelma to talk to two
    other persons—her Tia
    Emma and her
    cousin Ligaya.
    Caridad obeyed what
    Thelma had told her. She
    went first to Emma to
    listen to
    her story. She told her of
    her life before marrying
    her father, Alfonso; how
    the first years
    of their marriage had
    passed; the story of his
    siblings while at the time
    of the war; and
    her birth after her
    father’s death and how
    she ended up with
    Thelma.
    After her meeting with
    Emma,Caridad went to
    Ligaya to listen to
    another story
    in a different point of
    view. Ligaya was angry
    to their Tia Thelma for
    bargaining Caridad
