Instincts that make one motherly are not made,they are in born. Natella Abashwili is delivered of baby Michael.She is therefore the biological mother.When the time comes for her to demonstrate her motherly instincts,she flatly fails the test. The time she is expected to protect whatever makes her a mother, the queen misdirects her attention from the baby to wealth and materialism.

As she orders her workers around to pack her many expensive clothes in the chariots,she does not remember her baby.At the opportune time ,she successfully escapes the wrath of the rioting soldiers leaving her biological offspring at their mercy.Meanwhile,she has carried off with her all she thinks is the most important of her earthly belongings.Looking at the abandoned and desperate Michael, Grusha,a mere house help, immediately demonstrates that she is rich in her motherly instincts than the biological mother herself.

On seeing that his mother ran away leaving behind Michael,Grusha takes away the baby.She does not have sufficient resources to bring up the child and this does not bother her.She packs the nothing she owns and heads to the Northern Mountains where she hopes to stay with her brother Lavrenti in an effort to protect the child.Along the way she encounters many challenges like crossing the rotten bridge,hitting a corporal and running with the baby,buying milk for the baby at an exuberant price and even marrying a dying man Jussup.

From the above,carrying a fetus to full term does not make one a mother.There is much more one is required to do to prove that indeed she is a true mother.
