She did so by acting as the ‘mother’ to Gilbert’s ‘father’, meaning that she took on the motherly role of the Grape household. After Amy’s father died, her mother gave up on living her life, rather than helping to shoulder some of the responsibility that her husband had left behind, so Amy helped Gilbert by taking care of those household responsibilities while he was out working. In the story, Gilbert also mentions that Amy used to have a job, meaning she was trying even harder to support Gilbert while he took on all of his dad’s old obligations, and she still continued to do so even after losing her job. Amy’s role in the household is to take care of Ellen, to cook, to clean, and to take care of Mama while Gilbert is at work with Arnie.…
