Son and Lover
by Lawrence
About This Novel
"Sons and Lovers" is Lawrence's most famous work. The first half of the novel focuses on the Oedipal relationship between Paul and his mother. The second half focuses on two different loves between Paul and his two lovers, Clara and Milan. The former is erotic love, and the latter is Platonic spiritual love. Paul was in his mother's shadow and unable to choose his own path in life. It was not until his mother died of illness that he got rid of his shackles, said goodbye to his hometown and lover, and truly grew up. In this novel, Lawrence boldly and thoroughly explores the psychology of women, and the women in his novels therefore show stronger aesthetic taste and artistic expression, delicately and accurately reflecting Lawrence's writing themes.
