Abstract

British famous writer D.H. Lawrence is one of the most accomplished and controversial authors in 20th century. D.H. Lawrence writes many world-renowned works in his literary career and Sons and Lovers is one of his masterpieces. As a semi-autobiographical novel, Sons and Lovers attracts much attention since it is published. Whether the novel embodies Freud’s psychology on Oedipus complex, especially the abnormal love between the sons to mother is the key point of contention by many scholars.
This thesis tries to analyze the Oedipus complex in the novel from the aspect of story development and character analysis and dissects the mental problem of Paul from five aspects. In the first part is the introduction, it gives a brief description of Oedipus complex, Lawrence’s life and his work—Sons and Lovers. The second part mainly analyzes the Oedipus complex in the novel. It discusses the problem from two sides of Paul’s love to his mother and the conflicts between them. The third chapter is the analysis of the causes of Oedipus complex in Paul and it also proves the existence of the Oedipus complex in the novel from another aspect. Then, the fourth chapter is about the analysis of the ending of the novel and the Oedipus complex’s influence to Paul. Finally, part five comes to the conclusion of the paper. The paper hopes to help the scholars’ study on the relative research.
