- W49587613 abstract "I Morel's great journey from his small Bestwood home to Mr. Jordan's Nottingham factory D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers (1913) is not decisive break with home that either he fears or his mother Gertrude expects. is terrified at thought of becoming a prisoner of industrialism (127), and Gertrude imagines him in one of the great centres of industry (127). The tensions between the business world, with its regulated system of values, and its impersonality (115) and Paul's home world--between factory and home, and by extension, town and country, dirtiness and purity, body and spirit--remain a delicate state of precarious balance yet irresolution throughout novel. (1) But factory soon takes on a feel (141) for Paul. Much more than he realizes, it approaches a re-creation of his Bestwood home and his major childhood relationships. Although they are sketched only briefly, Paul's co-workers are described resonant language so similar to that used about Morel parents and Miriam Leivers that parallels are clear and noteworthy. With factory serving as a virtual extension of Paul's home, Polly is comparable to Gertrude, and Fanny and Connie, taken together, comprise an analogue to Miriam. Even men at factory with whom has contact--Mr. Pappleworth, Mr. Jordan, and Baxter Dawes--so strikingly represent different aspects of Walter Morel as to seem incarnations of distinctive sub-personalities of him. Lawrence may not have explicitly intended these parallels, and is certainly unaware of underlying implications of his homely factory and its connections to his past and future. Yet comparisons arise from novel's rich organic fabric nonetheless. The less conspicuous strands of that fabric illuminate Lawrence's art as they reveal nature of identities between Paul's home and factory. The aim is not, however, simply to point out relative continuity between Paul's childhood and early manhood. Rather, attention to these parallels casts light upon progress of Paul's growth and role of factory that development. Gertrude, Miriam, and Clara Dawes are often viewed as the three women Paul's as son and lover, with little attention devoted to Paul as Workman and his relationships to at factory. Alistair Niven's casual observation that a trio of [Gertrude, Miriam, and Clara] initiate Morel into mysteries and practicalities of life is typical critical view (55). While Gertrude, Miriam, and Clara are undeniably most fully developed and significant female characters, tendency to study them and ignore novel's other as inconsequential (and thereby to de-emphasize Paul's view of himself and all men as absorbed work world) is unfortunate. Critics have pointed out that Annie, acting first as a mother-figure Paul's childhood and finally as a co-conspirator Mrs. Morel's euthanasia, is a prominent though usually unnoticed force Paul's development; and line of Paul's attachment can be traced from Annie to Gertrude to Miriam to Clara, with tensions and modulations throughout. (2) Paul's relationship, however, with factory women--whom meets before Lad-and-Girl Love with Miriam--represents a crucial, transitional moment his maturation process. They form a significant, easily overlooked phase of his successive attachments, properly situated after Mrs. Morel and before Miriam. This location is appropriate, given that Polly, Fanny, and Connie mirror selected aspects of Mrs. Morel and Miriam, respectively. To focus upon resemblance of factory and home Sons and Lovers also complicates related thematic oppositions mentioned above, revealing them not as simple polarities but rather, like Paul's home and Jordan's factory, as images drawn richly ambivalent terms. It is through Clara that becomes aware of complexities of work and life, and through her that he finally breaks his bondage to both home and factory and truly launches into life. …" @default.
