Book Report
--Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence

Introduction of the Novel:
The life of the Morel family is unhappy, tense, and uneasy. The Morels live in a mining town in the countryside. Walter Morel is a miner, and he and his wife, Gertrude, have three sons and a daughter. Mrs. Morel’s life is full with handling her husband's temper and caring for the children. She hates that she has to stay home with the children while her husband gets to go out and enjoy himself (i.e. drink). She found that she doesn’t love her husband any more even hates him sometimes. Mrs. Morel transfers her affections from her husband to her first son, William, who is intelligent and active. When William goes to London for a job, Mrs. Morel is devastated. Having spent too much time at work and with his fiancée, William catches pneumonia and dies. After William's death, Mrs. Morel turns her love and attention to Paul. Paul, working in the factory, is always sensitive and emotional. Although he has a girlfriend Miriam and lover Clara, he still lives under his mother’s thumb.
After Mrs. Morels dies, Paul goes to see Miriam. They ponder getting married, but Paul confesses that he has neither desire nor any intention of marrying her. Miriam decides to wait as long as it takes for him to come to her. Paul returns home, thinking about the bond he shares with his mother. Their love is still alive in him, even though she has died. Paul's independent life is just beginning at the novel's end.

About the Author：
Here I introduce David Herbert Lawrence, because there are some similarities between Paul and him.
David Herbert (D. H.) Lawrence was born in 1885 in the poor, coal-mining town of Eastwood, on which the Bestwood of Sons and Lovers is modeled. Arthur and Lydia Lawrence, his parents, had a troublesome marriage from the start: his father, a miner, was content to stay on the mining grounds while his mother yearned to leave. Lawrence was very close to his mother, so much that even he admitted that his relationship with his mother interfered with his own relationships with women. Lawrence confessed at one point that he looked at his mother with a sexual way. His relationship with his father, however, was very much like Paul Morel's. Lawrence once said that he was the man in the house. He had always been more comfortable with women; as a young boy, he was sickly and weak and preferred to stay at home with his mother and sisters rather than play with the boys.
Lawrence was a very intelligent and clever child, excelling in reading and writing. In all his life, Lawrence published a number of novels, essays, and poems including Sons and Lovers, Women in Love. In people’s eyes, Lawrence was a gifted poet, painter and novelist, Lawrence was told in 1925 that he had tuberculosis and did not have much time to live. He died in a sanatorium on March 2, 1930.

Personal Thoughts About the Novel：
In sons and lovers, Paul hates his father and dreams of living exclusively with his mother. He has grave problems finding a satisfying relationship with any woman other than his mother. Many readers see the novel as a fictional study of the "Oedipus complex," which is referred to in Sigmund Freud’s analysis. Along with the Oedipus complex, we should also consider the positive aspects of Paul's relationship with his mother. She encourages his art, education, and social advancement. In many ways, Mrs. Morel embodies an ideal mother. She lives for her sons and will do anything to see them make their way in the world. She is a brace for him. After Mrs. Morels died, Paul is extremely frustrated sorrowful. He thinks of committing suicide. At last, he doesn’t surrender to the fate owing to the remaining courage of his mother. So I think, although the unusual love for his mother is the causation of Paul’s unhappy and unsuccessful love with the opposite sex, in some degree, it’s still a kind of encourage.
In this novel, we also see cruel reality. In such a society which humanity is destroyed and the harmonious relationships are facing with being threatened, no one would become the winner. Taking Miriam for example, although she flounders and struggles painfully, she doesn’t obtain Paul’s heart in the end. Until Paul get rid of his mother’s spiritual control, she sees the chance to kiss and make up with Paul. But she is refused again. As for Clara, who is crazy with sexual desire, she ends the relationship with Paul soon and return to her brute and vacuous husband. Among the frustrated failures, no one gains.
We also see the class conflict in this novel. Walter Morel, a symbol of the working class, has the positive qualities of instinct and spontaneity. His wife, Gertrude, a symbol of the middle class, embodies their work ethic and their intellectual and social aspirations. Gertrude and Walter ought to complement one another with their very different positive points, but in fact they, like the lower and middle classes, can't get along.
In addition, Sons and Lovers has a great deal of description of the characters' emotions. For example, I remember deeply that “he was like her knight who wore her favour in the battle.” It shows how proud Mrs. Morel is to own such a son like William. The author describes the pride nicely. These beautiful and impressive words are good for us readers’ writing skills.

Maybe in sons and lovers, we see many tragedies; they are from the quarreling between Mr. Morel and Mrs. Morel at the beginning to the dark emotion and future of Paul finally. We also see some sorrowful people, who aren’t content with reality, who lack spiritual life, who can’t gain the lover’s heart. All these ascribe to the dark reality and the distortion of humanity. But the final wake of Paul is a kind of comfort to us.
