"Sons and Lovers" by D. H. Lawrence is a story set in the early 1900s, focusing on Paul Morel's life and his challenging relationship with his mother in the mining town of Bestwood. From the beginning, the story shows the Morel family's hardships, especially Mrs. Morel's unhappiness with her husband, Walter, a miner who drinks too much. Mrs. Morel's love for her children, William, Annie, and especially baby Paul, becomes a central focus as she deals with her disappointing marriage. Paul's love for his mother and his romantic interests create emotional clashes, and themes of love, class differences, and family struggles emerge as key elements of the narrative. The novel offers a close look at love and sacrifice in a working-class family.
