"'My daughter' came naturally from the lips of Rachel Halliday; for hers was just the face and form that made 'mother' seem the most natural word in the world."

According to the excerpts presented, we can see that Stowe suggests that motherhood is not seen as positive and beneficial by all mothers.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Stowe wants to show a different view of motherhood and how it affects mothers.
  • In the first excerpt, we can see how the character doesn't see anything special in his daughter's face.
  • She doesn't feel that motherhood is a magical moment and doesn't feel intense devotion to the child.
  • She sees motherhood as something natural and unimportant.
  • In the second excerpt, we can see a character who sees motherhood as something bad.
  • She feels that it has negatively changed her life and doesn't want it to continue that way.

With this, we can see that the author decided to show different views on motherhood, which contrast with the views that society encourages.
