==History==
The film starts with an nameless woman burning the house where the married couple live in. Shortly later, Lawrence's mother wakes up in bed, and starts about attempting to make the house a paradise. Overall on the film whenever mother felt instable, a beating heart manifests from beyond the walls of the house. She also tries to urge her husband who was suffering from writer's block. Although, Him seemingly is much more distant from her as her increasing spirals into the anguish of writer's block.
The next day, a man comes at the house, apparently believing it's a bed-and-breakfast establishment. Mother is softly annoyed by this man's appearance, but she permits him to spend the night at their home when Him was requiring that they should. Soon later, the Man's Wife makes herself not welcome in the house, having fun at mother because of the manner she hadn't been intimate with her husband. When the couple inadvertently shatter a glass shard belonging to Him, they are thrown out. The couple's sons somehow locate them to the house, and they discuss over the legacy left for the pair when their father passes away. In a heated moment, the older son of the couple subdues his brother, and takes his life. This causes to relatives of the couple arriving to the house to cry over the loss of the younger son. This increasingly agitates mother as none of the visitor give her the highest respect. This ends in some indiscipled guests breaks a pipe, flooding the house in the process. Mother confronts Him, blaming him for authorizing all of these guests into their domain. But she gets cut off by Him who forcefully kisses her, leading to the pair having sex. She reports to Him that she was pregnant the next day. Enamored by the news, this instigates Him to begin writing again.
The poem becomes massively successful which leads to many people storming the house, and defiling rooms in order to reveal that they were there. Mother goes through many rooms, each room has inhabitants in them that are committing awful deeds such as trafficking, satanic rituals, and executions. Him locks up mother in his study where she unavoidably gives birth. When Him demands to present his newborn son to the crowd of people, mother denies, knowing that Him's followers shall definitely kill the infant. The two look at each other for an prolonged period of time before mother succumbs to sleep. She wakes up to see in horror that the baby had been twisted from her by her husband, and that the baby was being carried violently by the crowd. The baby's neck snaps from the blunt force, and as mother races where the baby was last seen, she finds out that a cult that was established was eating the mutilated corpse of her son. She massacres a huge bit of the crowd, only to be subdued and mostly beaten to near-death. Him rescues her, and while he is saddened over his loss, he insists that they apologize his followers. This is the final straw for mother, and she rushes into a basement, and pours oil onto the ground. Before lighting the oil, she angrily blames Him of loving her simply because she loved him. The house becomes filled with flames, consuming Him's followers.
Him carries the charred corpse of mother in his arms, making her realize that whatever Him was, he was sometime not human. Him explains to her that as a creator, he has to create endlessly, and reveals that, in fact, he did not want her to suffer as much as she did. As a final act of love, mother authorizes Him to remove her heart. Mother's body turns black as a result. Him then takes her heart and squeezes it between his hands, extracting a crystal from it. He then put the crystallized item on the stand, and darkly laughs. The house is remade, and a new version of mother awakens in the bed, loudly wondering where her husband was.
==Personality==
Mother for the first time appears as the excellent spouse who genuinely loves her husband. Even though Him began to exploit her when the mob started arriving to their house, she tries to overwatch a straight face out of obedience. However, she does now call out Him for his dereliction of affection with her, so the two engage in relations. Upon conceiving her child, mother tries to defend her son at all costs because she knew that her husband would make their child defenseless. Upon the demise and subsequent cannibalization of her baby, any compassion that mother might have felt completely dissolves, as she angrily burns herself and the house out of vengeance.
As she lays dying in Him's arms, mother accepts that even though she was heartbroken that she could not give anything that she wanted for Him, she still possesses some love for her husband, and allows her to remove her heart.
==Symbolism==
While it is overall accepted upon (and outright confirmed) that mother depicts the physical embodiment of the Earth, and/or Mother Nature, there are several much more negative suggestions as to what she describes. One lesser known thesis is that mother is an figurative representation of Lucifer, otherwise known as Satan/The Devil. Judging to certain beliefs, Lucifer was created as being the prettiest out of God's creations, at least prior to the creation of mankind. When God presented the angels to humans, Lucifer became enraged, believing that humans were inferior to him (in some moments, he was even told to bow to man). In mother!, mother expresses only contempt for the the crowd that arrive to her house, culminating in her committing to what is the equal of a planetary genocide. Many also watch mother's interaction with women as a key towards the "Satan theory". Mother argues the rare crystallized object is not to dissimilar to how the Serpent seducing Eve with the Forbidden Fruit. Her falling down the flock of stairs until setting the house in fire can as well be considered as her metaphorically going into Hell, a location where the Devil resides. Her actions can be interpreted as her being jealous of all of the love that Him feel to his minions sometimes at the cost of mother sacrificing all, but it is not sufficient.
