Sons and Lovers is
one of Lawrence’s most popular and enduring
works. The story of Paulo Morel’s intriguing
entanglements with his mother and other women,
has a strong oedipal undercurrent of the oedipal
myth. Apart from the nuanced reading of
sexuality, this novel poses questions about the
decadent influence of the industrial Revolution.
Women in Love
traces the lives and love of two sisters, Ursula
and Gudrun, through the complex world of
heterosexual love. The intricate dynamics of
love play out against the dark, serpent-like
smoke of the factories of industrial England.
