| The Great Russian writer Dostoevsky (1821-1881) wrote many works that had been researching in the world wide from the beginning to now. On the one hand, his works are a prophecy of the times. On the other hand, the times give the new meaning and value to his works. Bakhtin's "polyphony theory" in many literary theories is an important reference that we understand the works of Dostoyevsky. It is a long time that people pay much attention to the "dialogue" and the "Carnival" of the world. "The Brothers Karamazov" is the last work of writer and has many important ideas of writer. In this paper, with reading "The Brothers Karamazov" carefully, we find that there is a silent world in this noisy work. This silent world is the world of mothers.Firstly, the paper studies four women who impact on the life of Dostoevsky. They are the mother of writer, the first wife of writer, a memorable lover of writer and the second wife who gives the happiness to the writer. By studying, we find that the images of these women continue to appear in the writer's creation. Knowing them helps us to understand the images of the mothers deeply in the work.Secondly, it analyses three mothers in "The Brothers Karamazov". They are the old Karamazov's first wife, Donna·Ivanovo, the second wife Sofia·Ivanovo, and Shanna who lives drawly on the streets in the first part of the work .Three mothers are on behalf of three women in Russia. They are the nobility, the poor and the Saint-yu. By analysis, it concludes that: mothers are oppressed by Patriarchal Society and deprived of the power of discourse.Next, the paper gives the consequences of the lack of mother's love: in the power of male discourse, the women survive at the edge of the world. Women have been deprived of the power of discourse in the oppressed status. The unharmonious gender relation restricts the development of women, and the men lose their spirit home, so they can't extricate themselves from desire. The husband is no emotional support and act all day. The sons can't get love from their mothers. Home becomes a "family-coupling", there is no love, no warmth. Father and son snatch the property and the lover. Desire flames meeting the dry, the flames of hatred are burning in the hearts of father and sons. Then sons fall into a tragedy of patricide. The father of the work is a symbol of extremely "evil". But killing the father doesn't eliminate the "evil" in the world and heart. Sons also will not be at peace on charges of killing the father, and ultimately they are into a vicious cycle of "crime and punishment". Finally, this paper affirms comprehensively the theme of Dostoyevsky to save the world by love. There is an ideal society in which has the gender harmony, integrity and well-being of families, and children are brought up in love. It regards the home as the basic unit of society, and regards the maternal love as the most basic elements of home. It studies and confirms the importance of mother, although mother is at the edge of the location in accordance with the reality. It shows the importance of maternal strength to save the society suffering. Tolerance, understanding and love are the ultimate doctrine to save human beings. Maternal love is like the sea that contains everything.
