There are two ways a Walter Morel’s failure to be a good husband, father, and family breadwinner. He as a man broken by an uncaring, brutal industrial system
and an overly demanding wife. You can also see Walter as his own worst enemy, inviting self-destruction through drink and irresponsibility.

irresponsibility, he also gives you a picture of Walter’s warm, lively, loving ways. The key scenes of family happiness revolve around the time when Walter stays
out of the pubs and works around the house, hugging his children and telling then tall stories of life down in the mines.
‘He drank rather heavily, thought not more than many miner, and always beer. So that whilst his health was
affected, it was never injured.’ D.H Lawrence,1913 :26
‘Shut that doo-er ’ bawled Morel furiouslt. Annie banged it behind her, ans was gone ,’if tha opens it again
while I’m weshin’ me, I ‘ll ma’e thy jaw rattle,’ hethreatened from the midstof his soapsuds. Paul and the
mother frowned to hear him.D.H Lawrencw,1913:243
