Walter is a miner with crude and disagreeable manners. The married life of the Morels is rather unhappy. The sons are urged into life by the reciprocal love of their mother-urged on and on.” Thus it is clear that it is the sons themselves who, when they grow up, become the lovers of their mother. But as her sons grow up, she selects them as lovers-first the eldest, then the second. She has had a passion for her husband, so the children are born of passion, and have heaps of vitality. This plan is made amply clear in a letter Lawrence wrote to Garnett: “A woman of character and refinement goes into the lower class and has no satisfaction in her own life. The novel does not have different people as sons and lovers it presents the story of a woman who, disillusioned with her husband, accepts two of her sons as lovers one after the other. Lawrence’s first major novel that was initially called Paul Morel after the name of the central character was later given the title Sons and Lovers. ![]()
