D. H. Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers: A Neo Version of Oedipal Complex
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 09
Abstract
This article endeavors to come up with the novel Sons and Lovers with the view of Oedipus complex which turned out at the time when D.H. Lawrence set off to rejuvenate the new generation writers along with the readers throughout his novel to be familiar with the neo type of complication which is related to Freudian Theory of Psychosexual Development or Organic evolution. Following the footprint of Sophocles, Lawrence depicts his neo form of complexity in accordance with the philosophy of psychoanalysis but in different way that is in reality the influential work Oedipus Rex (Oedipus Tyrannus). The enduring psychological pressure and anxiety always leg-pulls the mind of the protagonist Paul Morel and makes him anesthetized in absence of both his mother and beloved. It is Lawrence’s first full-fledged novel where he portrays his uneasiness overshadowing his romances with two women. This complication is the root of all problems that actually imposed on the Protagonist to love his mother with all the intensity of his soul. Furthermore, there develops an unnatural bond of interdependence between Paul and his mother which leads to further complications in his emotional life.
