Parents play a crucial role in their children’s education. Whether they are careless or absent from their homes, their children’s lives are impacted negatively. Despite the wide range of themes in Moon Palace, the lack of parental care is worth considering. Paul Auster has created a story featuring three generations of people from the same family who lived in mono-parental homes and who suffered continuous trauma. Drawing on the sociological theory, this paper aims at denouncing the absence of parents in the education of their children. In fact, Julian Barber, Solomon Barber, and Marco Stanley Fogg have suffered because of a lack of parental care. The hypothesis of this study suggests that the future of the family members is likely to be jeopardized when both the mother and the father are not involved in the education of their children. My paper advocates for greater guidance from parents and educators to insure the holistic development of children, thereby enhancing the moral development of societies.
