Who is Maman, Jaromil's mother from Life Is Elsewhere and what is their importance? Life_Is_Elsewhere English & Literature "Maman

Maman is Jaromil's domineering mother. Maman feels justified in dominating Jaromil, since he is her only child. Maman is made pregnant by the engineer and marries him, but never wins the engineer's love or loyalty. Instead, Maman concentrates her love and affection on Jaromil from a young age. Maman finds an art teacher for Jaromil, and then becomes involved in a romantic affair with the artist. However, Maman is drawn into an affair that is beyond her ability to manage. Her ability to follow the artist's complicated surrealist theories is small. When she breaks off the affair, she decides that it is because of her loyalty to Jaromil. Maman tends to look at Jaromil's girlfriends as her rivals. She bursts into the bedroom when Jaromil is there with the redheaded girl, claiming that the moans of the girl are due to sickness. Ironically, Maman becomes a close associate with the filmmaker girl, when the latter wants to make a movie about Jaromil. Maman actually fears that the filmmaker girl is after Jaromil, and fears that this attraction will harm Jaromil. In this case, Maman is right.
