1.1 The Background of Study
The first motive for the reading of literature is pleasure or entertainment.
Through literature we can easily acknowledge the vital role played in human affairs by writers. All of us who read work of literature will find our knowledge of
human affairs broadened and deepened whether in the individual, the social, the racial or the international sphere. A special kind of knowledge which, every
society must foster to concern its own culture. Here we use it to signify what is peculiarly characteristic of a particular community. Including its organization,
laws institutions, customs, education, religion, work, play, art, and so on. Literature, however, can fill in any gaps and put the whole into meaningful
picture. There are four mainly important branches of literature : short stories, novel, poetry, drama.
The main reason for the writer to choose the topic is because D. H. Lawrence’s Novel, Sons and Lovers is one of the landmark novel of twentieth
century. When it appeared 1913, it was immediately recognized as the first great modern restatement of the oedipal drama, and it is now widely considered the
major work of D. H. Lawrence’s early period. This intensely autobiographical novel recounts the story of Paul Morel, a young artist growing to manhood in a
British working-class family rife with conflict. The author’s vivid evocation of the all consuming nature of possessive love and sexual attraction makes this one of
his most powerful novels.
