Sons and Lovers

I just finnished reading Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence, and it was a rather enjoyable book, having already read Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence, there is something that is just so unique about his writing that I have noticed and which appeares within his books, the way in which he deals with relationships, and emotions, which I think I have touched upon before after I read Rainbow but he has a way of really looking at the rawness of people, of going down into the soul and pulling up all those things people keep to themselves and exposing and expressing in the physical realm.

D.H. Lawrence, also has a very intresting way in which he portrays women in his books, if you consider the fact that he is in fact writing before women even have the right to vote, within his books he always has very strong female charachters, and he expresses the imporantce, and the need for a woman's quest for independence, both Rainbow and Sons and Lovers  express as an element of the story the struggle of women trying to find a place for themselves within the work world and trying to find some equality.

He also writes about themses that could be seen as contriverisal for the era in which he is writing. For example, in Sons and Lovers one of the key elements of the story envolves this love affair, between a man and a married woman whom merely split with her husband, but never acutally saught to get an offical divorce from him. And they are together very publicaly and very openly.

I would have to say that I really have come to enjoy the writing style of D.H. Lawrence from what I have read to him before, one of the other things which i found quite intresting about Sons and Lovers was the relationship between Paul, and his Mother. In many reguards Paul treated his mother and his affections towards her, the way he spoke of her and thought of her, was very much like that of a lover, though it was not physcially inccestial, it was almost emotionaly inccestial, for Paul could never quite find another woman that could satisify him as well as his mother did, and her purposfully seemed to aviod any truly comittied relationships, he would act as if he wished to get married, but then find some way out of doing so.

Though I have to say the end of the story is pretty brutal.
