Lawrence's twelve novels, his third, Sons and Lovers, has been subjected to by far the most extensive psychoanalytic scrutiny, and understandably so.1 Carol Sklenicka goes so far as to call it "the novel that brought English literature into the psychoanalytic age" (5). The qualitative pattern of the paper focuses on the textual analysis of the novel to show that Sons and Lovers can be approached through the concept of rivalry and sibling Rivalry. Second: the rivalry triangle of Louisa, Miriam and Mrs. First: between Paul and William as brothers on one hand, and Paul and father and mother on the other. This concept is discussed in terms of two levels of relationships. The discussion tackles the sibling rivalry between the members of the Morels and extends to reexamining the rivalry between other characters. This paper reexamines Sons and Lovers from the perspective of rivalry based on Alfred Adler’s psychological studies. Many studies have been conducted on the Oedipus complex theory and psychological relationship between men and women in Lawrence’s novels reflecting the early twentieth century norms of life.
Lawrence’s most prominent novels in terms of psychological complexities characteristic of most, if not all, of his other novels. But you can also hear inverted pre-echos of the Auden gag in the various scenes here where a miner's grime is held against him by would-be genteel wives on a sort of “you're-too-filthy-to-use-my-lovely-towels” or, in effect, “go and use another bathroom before you use mine”.Sons and Lovers (1913) is one of D.H. In Bennett's version, a certain something arises that suggests that the dear departed is perhaps not as dead as they had supposed.
We know that Bennett attended Peter Gill's landmark Lawrence revivals at the Royal Court in the mid-1960s and that, in Enjoy (1980) he wickedly parodied the scene in The Widowing of Mrs Holroyd, where the wife and mother ritually washed the corpse of previous hated miner-husband, killed in a pit accident. To quote from memory: “where did you wash your hands, after you'd washed your hands?” Amongst the many revelatory marvels in this magnificent, deeply attuned evening – which present three of D H Lawrence's stage masterpieces, written between 19, as a single composite drama – is a startled sense of how strong an influence the Prophet of Eastwood exerted on Leeds's finest flower. I've always loved Alan Bennett's great joke about the hygiene crime-scene that was W H Auden's bathroom in New York.
