以下是店铺为大家提供的儿子与情人英文读后感,供大家参考借鉴!儿子与情人英文读后感(一)Sons and Lovers was D.H. Lawrence's first major novel. His only major novel, some would say; but even readers who are out of sympathy with him, or who feel that his gifts were not really those of a novelist, have usually been happy to make a wholehearted exception in this one case.It is a book that goes straight to the point, at the outset and at almost every subsequent stage. Between them his two methods leave us in no doubt where the heart of his story is to be located.Gertrude Morel is a woman of high principle, of character and refinement. Her husband is a miner who can barely read and write. Marrying him for passion, she is bitterly disappointed by his rough manners, his drinking, what she can only see as his weakness and irresponsibility. When the book opens, the marriage has already turned into a battlefield, and the love she has withdrawn from Morel is being redirected toward the first of her children. In the previous chapters, Gertrude Morel is most devoted to her eldest son William. But after he dies of a skin disease, she plunges into grief. Seeing William is gone, she rededicates her life to Paul, and this revives her. She teaches her son art, education, and social advancement. She lives for her sons and will do anything to see them make their way in the world.Mrs. Morel is terribly tired of her involvement in Paul andMiriam's relationship and decides to stop intervening. She knows that Paul is an adult now and that there is nothing she can do to stop Paul from seeing Miriam. She feels that she can never forgive her son for sacrificing himself to love Miriam. As it mentions above, Paul has begun to realize how much his mother affects his life. Her deep love for him has made her a part of himself that when he wants to break free from his mother, he is unable to get away from her. His mother is ingrained into his very soul.That’s to say, his mother influences Paul very much, and which proves to be for worse to him. When Paul finds girlfriend, he always find the girl who takes after his mother, not only the out look but also in mental. But in fact he could not find such girl. So it lead to that he never willing to be bound to Miriam in marriage or to Clara in physical love. At last Paul has begun to realize how much his mother affects his life. Her deep love for him has made her a part of himself that when he wants to break free from his mother, he is unable to get away from her. His mother is ingrained into his very soul.To sum up, Paul’s mother has some bad influence on him and to a large extent changes his life.儿子与情人英文读后感(二)eading Report of Sons and Lovers During my extracurricular time, I started reading Sons and Lovers, which was written by David Herbert Lawrence. He was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. He was born on September 11, 1885 to a miner and his wife in the small village of Eastwood near Nottingham, England. Arthur and Lydia Lawrence, his parents, had a troublesome marriage from the start: his father, a miner, wascontent to stay on the mining grounds while his mother yearned to leave. So his childhood was dominated by poverty and friction between his parents. He was educated at Nottingham High School, and won a scholarship. He worked as a clerk in a surgical appliance factory, and then for four years as a pupil-teacher. He was died in Vence, France on March 2, 1930. Lawrence is now valued by many as a visionary thinker and significant representative of modernism in English literature. There is a background before the author wrote this book. Lawrence lived at a time when the Industrial Revolution was taking on the whole world, especially in Great Britain, which changed from agricultural society towards industrial society. And it brought all changes in national and personal lives. Lawrence?s novel Sons and Lovers deals with Lawrence?s personal experiences in the working-class environment in Nottinghamshire.Sons and Lovers is the third published novel of D. H. Lawrence, taken by many to be his earliest masterpiece. It tells the story of Paul Morel, a young man and a budding artist. This autobiographical novel is a brilliant evocation of life in a working class mining community. This novel is about the life of Movels. Mr.Morel, Mrs.Moel, Paul, Miriam and Clara are the main characters in this novel. The author develops the story by portraying the relationships between these characters. But the end of the relationship is a tragedy. I divided this book into two parts. Now I will introduce the first part of this book.The refined daughter of a “good old burgher family,” Gertrude Coppard meets a rough-hewn miner at a Christmas dance and falls into a whirlwind romance. But soon after her marriage to Walter Morel, she realizes the difficulties of living off his meager salary in a rented house. The couple fight and driftapart and Walter retreats to the pub after work each day. Gradually, Mrs.Morel?saffections shift to her sons, beginning with the oldest, William. As a boy, William is so attached to his mother that he doesn?t enjoy the fair without her. As he grows older, he defends her against his father?s occasional violence. Eventually, he leaves home for a job in London, where he begins to rise up into the middle class. He is engaged, but he detests the girl?s superficiality. He dies, and Mrs. Morel is heartbroken, but when William catches pneumonia, she rediscovers her love for her second son. Both repulsed by and drawn to his mother, Paul is afraid to leave her but wants to go out on his own, and needs to experience love. Gradually, he falls into a relation ship with Miriam, a farm girl who attends his church. The two take long walks and have intellectual conversations about books, but resists in, in part because his mother looks down on her.I want to introduce the three characters of this book: Mr. Morel, Mrs Morel and Miriam Leviers. Mr. Morel is Paul's rough, sensual, hard-drinking father. In many ways, he is his wife's opposite. Mr. Morel is from a lower-class mining family. He speaks the local dialect in contrast to his wife's refined English. He loves to drink and dance practices that Mrs. Morel, a strict Congregationalist, considers sinful. Mrs Morel is one of the most formidable mothers in all of Western literature. To the narrator, and perhaps to Paul Morel, she is both a giving, selfless nurturer of her children and a possessive tyrant. Miriam Leviers, Paul's teenage friend and sweetheart, was modeled after Lawrence's own young love, Miriam is Paul's devoted helpmate in his artistic and spiritual quests. Although beautiful, she takes no pleasure in her physical attributes. Her whole life is geared towards heavenand a mystical sense of nature.This is the most autobiographical of all Lawrence?s works as the author himself had a similar relationship with his own mother. The use of this oedipal theme is one of a number of Freudian concepts he used throughout his books. Like many of his works, Sons and Lovers was criticized when first published for obscenity and one publisher called it ”the dirtiest book he had ever read”, but compared to his later works it is quite constrained.There are three females that Paul had loved. The first person is his mother. Paul is afraid to leave her but wants to go out on his own, and experience love. Then, it is Miriam, whom is a farm girl. They have intellectual conversations about books in the nature. At last, Paul meets Clara Dawes, who has separated from her husband, Paul get physical satisfaction from her.I want to show my opinions about the love between Paul and Miriam.Miriam Leviers, Paul's teenage friend and sweetheart, was modeled after Lawrence's own young love. She is romantic in her soul but timid and sensitive in appearance. Miriam is Paul's devoted helpmate in his artistic and spiritual quests. Although beautiful, she takes no pleasure in her physical attributes. Her whole life is geared towards heaven and a mystical sense of nature. Miriam is Paul?s first lover. Miriam loves Paul, but she can?t admit to and has no courage to love. When she loves Paul, she only wants to dominate his mind, then to catch Paul?s whole soul. But Paul knows that Miriam only loves his soul and wants to posses him. In this book, there is a dialogue between them which Paul rejected Miriam. Miriam said:” You had said that we belong to each other.” “I was young. I did belong to my mother and now she is died. I don?t want to live again with you, not even with you. I?m sure I?ll never find one as good as you, But perhaps Iunderstand at last what the mean to live,” said Paul. For Paul, mother?s love makes him unhappy, while Miriam seems like his mother as both want to control his soul. Of course, he will against that form of love as he thinks that?s not love and wants to escape from this spiritual love. I think the love was failed because of Miriam?s possession.Then, I?d like to compare Lawrence as a combination of both William and Paul. As William, he was a man who grew in such family and had a strong will to break the shackles of his class. William was gifted, he was successful in both his academy work and interpersonal relational, and he escaped from his lamentable family to London. The mentality of William just like Lawrence purred his feel to this character subconsciously: the disgust of his father, admiration of mother, struggle to free himself from the mournful family. All these characteristics are based on author himself experience. Of course, these stuffs also connected with the society at that time, which class you came from can be the first to affect who you were or how you were, in order to change your social status, the post important was to change the class you belonged to. All these ideology created both Lawrence and his William.At the moment, it?s clear that Paul?s Oedipus complex and reasons. Actually Paul has not become a normal adult by getting over some problems likeother children. That is not only determined by his mother?s abnormal maternity. The reasons are in many ways, some comes from the parents; some comes from his sisters and brothers, some even from the society, the mechanical civilization, which leads to the family tragedy and distortion of personality.儿子与情人英文读后感(三)wrence and his Sons and Lovers Sons and Lovers was regarded as his autobiography, actually, I strongly agree with this view. I’d like to compare the novel with Lawrence in the following three aspects: family background, the shackle of class and Oedipus complex. First is the background. As to wrence, he was born in a family which his father was a miner who hardly received any education, instead of his mother with well education and her personal ideal of the politics or philosophy. Compared with Sons and Lovers, the hero’s family is similar with Lawrence’s-----vulgar father, well-educated mother. The father who works as a miner, nothing like to do but drinking, his words usually can be rude no matter what to his wife or his children;the mother, a well educated lady, fell in love with Mr. Morels accidently, but the reality finally defeated her romance, the humble and mediocre life struck her dream of being honorable. All in all, these situations are reflection of La wrence’s life, not only the characteristics of parents but also the surroundings, like working in the mine, living a strapped life and so on. Secondly, to a certain degree, I’d like to compare Lawrence as a combination of both William and Paul (the eldest son and younger son in the novel). As William, he was a man who grew in such family and had a strong will to break the shackles of his class. William was gifted, he was successful in both his academy work and interpersonal relationship, and he escaped from his lamentable family to London. The mentality of William just like Lawrence’s that a canary in the cage who tried to get away to the broad sky. So in this aspect, I think Lawrence purred his feel to this character subconsciously: the disgust of his father, admiration of his mother, struggle to free himself from themournful family. All these characteristics are based on author himself experience. Of course, these stuffs also connected with the society at that time, which class you came from can be the first to affect who you were or how you were, in order to change your social status, the most important was to change the class you belonged to. All these ideology created both Lawrence and his William. Last but not the least I want to point out is Oedipus complex which showing explicitly in the novel, peculiarly on Paul, the younger son who faced the difficulty when his love countered to Miss Miriam, the deeply love towards his mother----Mrs. Morel, which was clanged his tightly. He can find his true love until one he emancipated himself from his mother’s love. Paul would be entangled with dilemma every time when he stayed with Miriam;he could not love her from heart as his will and another hand, he can’t abandon his love to his mother. As a generally thought, Mrs. Morel was regarded as Lawrence’s mother----Lydia, Miss Miriam was recognized as Lawrence’s first girlfriend----Jessie. In this point, Lawrence endowed his Oedipus complex on his Paul, in the novel, the agonized and miserable love was showed incisively and vividly. From all above, we can see distinctly, the novel----- Sons and Lovers is an autobiography of Lawrence himself, not only on the background of the society, family, but also the personality of the leading character. From the novel, we can have a glimpse of Lawrence’s private life;a talent suffered from his anguished and miserable love, and shackle of class.【儿子与情人英文读后感读书笔记】。

看完之后就发现自己睡不着了。
躺了一会儿，觉得与其睡不着干躺着还不如起来做点事情。
嗯。
趁着还记得到底是什么情节，赶紧写下我的读后感吧。
这本书相对于《查泰来夫人的情人》而言，描写性爱的情节要少得多，更多的是单纯地叙事。
小说从莫雷尔夫妇的相识讲起，讲到了他们之间后来矛盾不断的婚姻，讲到了莫雷尔夫人的大儿子威廉的生活和最后他的死，讲到了二儿子保罗的成长经历和他与母亲特殊的感情。
保罗算是书中的主角吧，毕竟书的后半局部全部围绕他展开。
他有一个很爱他的女朋友，但是他无法全身心地投入去爱她；同时他的母亲非常反对他的女友。
后来保罗为了另外一个女人离开了他的女朋友，但是他也无法真正爱上这个女人。
后来他的母亲莫雷尔夫人得了肿瘤，她自己痛苦不堪的同时也非常折磨保罗和他的姐姐安妮。
于是他们两个人由保罗主使，给他母亲服用了大量的吗啡，送走了他的母亲。
但是莫雷尔夫人走了之后，保罗的生命就仿佛没有了意义。
在这个时候，他的前女友愿意和他结婚，拯救他的生命。
但是他仍然没有方法完全摆脱他母亲对他的影响。
最后他在纠结痛苦中走向了大城市的生活。
怎么说呢，我觉得这本小说描写出了英国工业革命期间一个普通矿工家庭的生活。

Book Report of Sons and LoversThe book which written by D.H. Lawrence is mainly about love between a son and his mother. The first half of the novel focuses on the love between Paul and his mother, while the rest is about different kinds of love between Paul and two girls.The elder son in the family is William who is a lawyer in London. Paul is the second son, whose mother was born in a middle-class family and she is cultured while his father is a miner in Nottinghamshire mine. His parents fall in love at first sight at a party and they live happily after they get married. Then they make money to support the family together.Their happy time just lasts for a short time. After doing heavy work and seeing many colliery accidents, the father’s temper becomes very grumpy. The mother gets tired of her husband when seeing her drunken husband come back very late. They quarrel frequently and sometimes the husband even beats his wife. Paul’s mother usually hurts deeply after fighting. Day by day, she shows no interest in her husband, but devotes all her love and hope to her children, which results malformed motherly love. William has died of overwork. Then the mother puts all her love to Paul. She encourages Paul to enter high class and become a famous person who can bring fame for her. In order to make up the defect in her marriage, she manages to make Paul not fall in love with other woman. She wants to control Paul’s spirit and even regards Paul as her ideal lover. The love from his mother deeply locks him up in a dark room and he cannot get out of it. Also, he feels painful.Milian and Clara are two girlfriends of Paul. Paul has many interests in common with Milian, but she pursues fulfillment of her spirit too excessively and she is lack of passion. What’s more, she becomes the enemy of Paul’s mother. Paul has to consider his mother’s feeling even if he loves Milian. Clara lives in the lower class, separated her husband. She has a good relationship with Paul at first. However, they break up soon because the love between them is just lifeless.After Paul’s mother has died, Paul gets rid of the fetter of his mother’s spiritual control. He could have been reconciled with Milian, but he still rejects her wedding request and chooses to be solitude in the end.Motherly love is great but unilateral. It can only be the children’s love if it should be rewarded. However, the writer challenges the concept. He turns the love between the mother and the son into the love between lovers, which brings negative spirited burden to the son and the mother. The end is doomed to be a tragedy because it is against normal social ethic. But this kind of love is worthy to be thought about.。
儿子与情人读书报告
读书报告姓名：王晓琳班级：07英语一班学号：L0715101指导教师：韩玲Sons and LoversSons and Lovers was The third published novel of D.H. Lawrence, taken by many to be his earliest masterpiece tells the story of Paul Morel, a young man and a budding artist. This autobiographical novel is a brilliant evocation of life in a working class mining community. The original 1913 edition was heavily edited by Edward Garnett who removed eighty passages, roughly a tenth of the text. Despite this the novel is dedicated to Garnett. It was not until the 1992 Cambridge University Press edition that the missing text was restored.It is the first of David Herbert Lawrence’s major works, and is still considered to be one of his best .It was first published in 1913 London by Wyman and sons. Sons and Lovers was the first of Lawrence’s major works, and is still considered to be one of his best. The 1913 novel was partly autobiographical and was set in the coalmining village of Bestwood.Lawrence rewrote the work four times until he was happy with it. Although before publication the work was usually called Paul Morel, Lawrence finally settled on Sons and Lovers. Just as this changed title makes the work less focused on a central character, many of the latter additions broadened the scope of the work thereby making the work less autobiographical. While some of the edits by Garnett were on the grounds of propriety or style, others would once more narrow the emphasis back upon Paul. Sons and Lovers appears to really mean sons as lovers, and it is more appropriate for the book, because the sons are more lovers than sons.David Herbert Lawrence was born in 1885 in Nottinghamshire, England where his father was a miner. His experience growing up in a coal-mining family provided much of the inspiration for Sons and Lovers. Lawrence had many affairs with women in his life, including a longstanding relationship with Jessie Chambers (on whom the character of Miriam is based), an engagement to Louie Burrows, and an eventual elopement to Germany with Frieda Weekley. Lawrence began working on the novel in the period of his mother’s illness, and often exp resses this sense of his mother’s wasted life through his female protagonist Gertrude Morel. Letters written around the time of its development clearly demonstrate the admiration he felt for his mother - viewing her as a “clever, iron ical, delicately moulded woman”- and her apparently unfortunate marriage to his coal mining father, a man of “sanguine temperament”and instability. He believed that his mother had married below her class status. Ratherint erestingly, Lydia Lawrence wasn’t born into the middle-class. This personal family conflict experienced by Lawrence provided him with the impetus for the first half of his novel - in which both William, the older brother, and Paul Morel become increasingly contemptuous of their father - and the subsequent exploration of Paul Morel’s antagonizing relationships with both his lovers, which are both invariably affected by his allegiance to his mother.Lawrence’s first two novels, first play, and most of his early short stories, including such masterpieces as “Odour of Chrysanthemums” and “Daughters of the Vic ar” (collected in The Prussian Officer, and Other Stories, 1914), use earlyexperience as a departure point. Sons and Lovers carries this process to the point quasi-autobiography. The book depicts Eastwood and the Haggs Farm, the twin poles of Lawrence’s early life, with vivid realism. The central character, Paul Morel, is naturally identified as Lawrence; the miner-father who drinks and the powerful mother who resists him are clearly modeled on his parents; and the painful devotion of Miriam Leivers resembles that of Jessie Chambers. An older brother, William, who dies young, parallels his’s brother Ernest, who met an early death. In the novel, the mother turns to her elder son William for emotional fulfillment in place of his father. This section of the original manuscript was much reduced by Garnett before publication. Garnett’s editing not only eliminated some passages of sexual outspokenness but also removed as repetitive structural elements that constitute the establish ment of a pattern in the mother’s behaviour and that explain the plural nouns of the title. When William dies, his younger brother Paul becomes the mother’s mission an d, ultimately, her victim. Paul’s adolescent love for Miriam is undermined by his mother’s dominance; though fatally attracted to Miriam, Paul cannot be sexually involved with anyone so like his mother, and the sexual relationship he forces on her proves a disaster. He then, in reaction, has a passionate affair with a married woman, Clara Dawes, in what is the only purely imaginary part of the novel. Clara's husband is a drunken workingman whom she has undermined by her social and intellectual superiority, so their situation mirrors that of the Morels. Though Clara wants more from him, Paul can manage sexual passion only when it is split off from commitment; their affair ends after Paul and Dawes have a murderous fight, and Clara returns to her husband. Paul, for all his intelligence, cannot fully grasp his own unconscious motivations, but Lawrence silently conveys them in the pattern of the plot. Paul can only be released b y his mother’s death, and at the end of the book, he is at last free to take up his own life, though it remains uncertain whether he can finally overcome her influence. The whole narrative can be seen as Lawre nce’s psychoanalytic study of his own case, a y oung man’s struggle to gain detachment from his mother.The first draft of Lawrence’s novel is now lost and was never completed, which seems t o be directly due to his mother’s illness. He did not return to the novel for three months, at which point it was titled “Paul Morel”. The penultimate draft of the novel coincided with a remarkable change in Lawrence’s life, as his health was thrown into tumult and he resigned his teaching job in order to spend time in Germany. This plan was never followed, however, as he met and married the German minor aristocrat, Frie da Weekley. According to Frieda’s account of their first meeting, she and Lawrence talked about oedipus and the effects of early childhood on later life within twenty minutes of meeting.The third draft of “Paul Morel”was sent to the publishing house heinemann, which was repulsively responded to by William Heinemann himself. His reaction captures th e shock and newness of Lawrence’s novel, “the degradation of the mother [as explored in this novel], supposed to be ofgentler birth, is almost inconceivable”, and encouraged Lawrence to redraft the novel one more time. In addition to altering the title to a more thematic “Sons and Lovers”.Heinemann’s response had reinvigorated Lawrence into vehemently defending his novel and its themes as a coherent work of art. In order to justify its form Lawrence explains, in le tters to Garnett, that it is a “great tragedy”and a “great book”, one that mirrors the “tragedy of th ousands of young men in England”.Sons and Lovers contains many autobiograp hical details. Many of Lawrence’s novels were very controversial because of their frank treatment of sex, and both The Rainbow and Lady Chatterley’s Lover were banned during his lifetime. This controversial treatment of sex is ev ident as well in Sons and Lovers; Lawrence’s fear of negative public opinion may have been one reason for his vague use of language and the obscure treatment of sex i n the novePerhaps Sigmund Freud’s most celebrated theory of sexuality, the Oedipus complex takes its name from the title character of the Greek play Oedipus Rex. In the story, Oedipus is prophesied to murder his father and have sex with his mother (and he does, though unwittingly). Freud argued that these repressed desires are present in most young boys. (The female version is called the Electra complex.) Sons and Lovers tells the story of Paul Morel, a young man and a budding artist, this autobiographical novel is a brilliant evocation of life in a working class mining community.The refined da ughter of a “good old burgher family” Gertrude Coppard meets a rough-hewn miner at a Christmas dance and falls into a whirlwind romance. But soon after her marriage to Walter Morel, she realizes the difficulties of living off his meager salary in a rented house. The couple fight and drift apart and Walter retreats to the pub after work each day. Gradually, Mrs. Morel’s affections shift to her sons, beginning with the oldest, William.As a boy, William is so attached to his mother that he doesn’t enjoy the fair without her. As he grows older, he defends her against his father’s occasional violence. Eventually, he leaves home for a job in London, where he begins to rise up into the middle class. He is engaged, b ut he detests the girl’s superficiality. He dies, and Mrs. Morel is heartbroken, but when Paul catchpneumonia, she rediscovers her love for her second son. Both repulsed by and drawn to his mother, Paul is afraid to leave her but wants to go out on his own, and needs to experience love. Gradually, he falls into a relationship with Miriam, a farm girl who attends his church. The two take long walks and have intellectual conversations about books, but Paul resists, in part because his mother looks down on her. At work, Paul meets Clara Dawes, who has separated from her husband, Baxter.Paul leaves Miriam behind as he grows more intimate with Clara, but even she cannot hold him, and he returns to his mother. When his mother dies soon after, he is wrence summarised the plotin a letter to Edward Garnett on 12 November 1912:It follows this idea: a woman of character and refinement goes into the lower class, and has no satisfaction in her own life. She has had a passion for her husband, so her children are born of passion, and have heaps of vitality. But as her sons grow up she selects them as lovers — first the eldest, then the second. These sons are urgedinto life by their reciprocal love of their mother — urged on and on. But when they come to manhood, t hey can’t love, because their mother is the strongest power in their lives, and holds them. It’s rather like Goethe and his mother and Frau von Stein and Christiana — As soon as the young men come into contact with women, there’s a split. William gives his sex to a fribble, and his mother holds his soul. But the split kills him, because he doesn’t know where he is. The next son gets a woman who fights for his soul — fights his mother. The son loves his mother — all the sons hate and are jealous of the father. The battle goes on between the mother and the girl, with the son as object. The mother gradually proves stronger, because of the ties of blood. The son decides to leave his soul in his mother's hands, and, like his elder brother go for passion. He gets passion. Then the split begins to tell again. But, almostunconsciously, the mother realises what is the matter, and begins to die. The son casts off his mistress, attends to his mother dying. He is left in the end naked of everything, with the drift towards death. This is the most autobiographical of all Lawrence’s works as the author himself had a similar relationship with his own mother. The use of this oedipal theme is one of a number of Freudian concepts he used throughout his books. Like many of his works, Sons and Lovers was criticized when first published for obscenity and one publisher called it “the dirtiest book he had ever read” but compared to his later works it is quite constrained.and Lovers is divided into three parts. The hero of the book, Paul Morel is the second son of a miner family. His mother, a woman of character and refinement goes into the lower class, and has no satisfaction in her own life. She has had a passion for her husband, her children are born of passion, and have heaps of vitality. But because of the differences in family background and education, a shadow is soon cast upon the married life of Mrs. Morel. And the shadow is darked by Mr. Morel’s laziness and alcoholism. As her sons grow up she selects them as lovers-first the eldest, then the second. These sons are urged into life by their reciprocal love of their mother-urged on and on. But when they come to manhood, they can’t love, because their mother is the strongest power in their lives, and holds them. It’s rather like Goethe and his mother and Frau Von stein and Christi ana-as soon as the young men come into contact with women, there’s a split. William gives his sex to a fribble, and his mother holds his soul. But the split kills him, because he doesn’t know where he is. The next son gets a woman who fights for his soul-fights his mother. The son loves his mother-all the sons hate and are jealous of the father. The battle goes on between the mother and the girl, with the son as object. The mother gradually proves stronger, because of the ties of blood. The son decides to leave his soul in his mother’s hands, and like this elder brother go for passion. After the deathof her first son, William, because of the hard work and pneumonia, Mrs. Morel divided attention and love is poured completely upon Paul. The mother’s abnormal love robs Paul of his normal love for his girl friend, the split begins to tell again. But almost unconsciously the mother realizes what is the matter, and begins to die. The son casts off his mistress, attends to his mother dying. He is left in the end naked of everything, with the drift towards death.Paul assuages his guilty, incestuous feelingsby transferring them elsewhere, and the greatest receivers are Miriam and Clara (note that transference is another Freudian term). However, Paul cannot love either woman nearly as much as he does his mother, though he does not always realize that this is an impediment to his romantic life. The older, independent Clara, especially, is a failed maternal substitute for Paul. In this setup, Baxter Dawes can be seen as an imposing father figure; his savage beating of Pa ul, then, can be viewed as Paul’s unconsciously desired punishment for his guilt. Paul’s eagerness to befriend Dawes once he is ill (which makes him something like the murdered father) further reveals his guilt over the situation. This is the most autobiographical of all Lawrence’s works as the author himself had a similar relationship with his own mother. The use of this oedipal theme is one of a number of Freudian concepts he used throughout his books. Like many of his works, Sons and Lovers was criticized when first published for obscenity and one publisher called it “the dirtiest book he had ever read” but compared to his later works it is quite constrained.Sons and Lover s was D.H. Lawrence’s first major novel. His only major novel, some would say; but even readers who are out of sympathy with him, or who feel that his gifts were not really those of a novelist, have usually been happy to make a wholehearted exeception in this one case.It is a book that goes straight to the point, at the outset and at almost every subsequent stage. Between them his two methods leave us in no doubt where the heart of his story is to be located.Gertrude Morel is a woman of high priciples, of character and refinement. Her husband is a miner who can barely read and write. Marrying him for passion, she is bitterly disappointed by his rough manners, his drinking, what she can only see as his weakness and irresponsibility. When the book opens, the marriage has already turned into a battlefield, and the love she has withdrawn from Morel is being redirected toward the first of her children. Such is the world into which Paul Morel is born.“Never trust the artist, trust the tale.”---here, as so often,his own maxim seems sound advice. There is no reason to suppose that Sons and Lovers would have been a better book if Lawrence had made Paul an aspiring author, but it would no doubt have been a more literary one. We might have seen more evidence,for example, of the remarkable couse of reading that Lawrence undertook together with Jessie Chambers. We might even have learned something of how he developed his style.Lawrence adds a twist to the Oedipus complex: Mrs. Morel is saddled with it as well. She desires both William and Paul in near-romantic ways, and she despises all their girlfriends. She, too, engages in transference, projecting her dissatisfaction with her marriage onto her smothering love for her sons. At the end of the novel, Paul takes a major step in releasing himself from his Oedipus complex. He intentionally overdoses his dying mother with morphia, an act that reduces her suffering but also subverts his Oedipal fate, since he does not kill his father, but his mother. l Initially, I was not sure that I would like this book, but with each page that I read, I became more and more involved in the story. It was an excellent read and shows how manipulative a mother can be in controlling her children. The psychological hold that she had onher sons was something that they were not able to break. It also shows how influenced we can be by the interaction between our own parents.D.H. Lawrence was aware of Freud’s theory, and Sons and Lovers famously uses the Oedipus complex as its base for exploring Paul’s relationship with his mother. Paul is hopelessly devoted to his mother, and that love often borders on romantic desire. Lawrence writes many scenes between the two that go beyond the bounds of conventional mother-son love. Completing the Oedipal equation, Paul murderously hates his father and often fantasizes about his death.At first,I was not sure that I would like this book, but with each page that I read, I became more and more involved in the story. It was an excellent read and shows how manipulative a mother can be in controlling her children. The psychological hold that she had on her sons was something that they were not able to break. It also shows how influenced we can be by the interaction between our own parents.。
儿子与情人英语读后感
Deformed Maternal Love- Thought on sons and loversIn eyes of many, maternal love is the hollies emotion in the world and mother as the holder of maternal love is always compared to incarnate angel. But my view was altered dramatically after I read D.H. Lawrence's first major novel, sons and lovers.The story mainly focus on Mrs. Morel, mother of the sons, is the major character in the novel. She is a strong-willed, refined, puritanical, and middle-class lady who has been shocked and disappointed by her marriage to a miner. Then she devotes herself passionately to her children for consolation, especially her sons. However, Mrs. Morel’s love and care is overmuch and rather heavy to her children, which ultimately causes the death of her elder son, William and crippled love of her second son, Paul. As far as I am concerned, the mother’s love in this novel is deformed and diseased that led to tragedy of her sons. In this novel, Mrs. Morel pours all her passion on his children. So she can get a sense of being loved. She takes her son as her perfect lovers in her deep heart. And that is why Mrs. Morel is so jealous of sons’ girlfriend s and even persuades William to give up her girlfriend when the lovers plan to marry. Mrs. Morel deprives her son’s rights of love. And it causes the death of William died by pneumonia, and makes Paul loses ability to love anymore.In general, Mrs. Morel is a horrible and unqualified mother. She playsthe major part in her sons’ lives and attempts to control them so tightly, which is similar to Eileen Chang’s tale of Golden Lock. Although they live under different social and cultural background, both mothers show their distorted psychology and strong control of their children. And both mothers and their children end in tragedy. As Dewey says, disorder of family relations is the fertile soil evoking various diseases of mind and emotion. Therefore, Maternal Love doesn’t mean the more the better. We should remember that everything is not definitely good. They must under moderate range and follow considerate rule.。
(小说《儿子与情人》的读书笔记)Book Report of Sons and Lovers
Book Report of Sons and LoversWhen I read Sons and Lovers, I feel so amiable and reminiscent. Because some of the extracts in this major novel bring me back to my childhood. As for me, childhood just like a colorful dream, full of curiosity and fantasy; childhood also like the seasoning packet that remind me the sense of the joys and sorrows of life.I believe most of the people will remember the carefree primary school time when be mentioned their childhood. When I read the description about the environment of Hell Row: "Hell Row was a block of thatched, bulging cottages thar stood by the brookside on Greenhill Lane...And the cottages of theses coal-farms and homes,straying over the parish, formed the village of Bestwood." Through I grow up in the city, and do not know exactly how the countryside look like.Yet in my memory, there is a scenic spot near my primary school similar to the description of Hell Row. At that time, this place became our paradise, because little boys and girls always played games there when they finished school. The alleys between the cottages was long and interlaced, so we often played hide-and-seek together. We did not go home until our parents got off their work and took us home. However, the broad road and modern houses replaced this "paradise" when I in grade four. Looking at the bulldozers crashed the cottages and the ruins, I shed my tears and felt very sad, because I lost my paradise forever. Sometimes the beautiful scenery of my paradise would come out in my dream, the cottages, the deep alleys, the old trees and wild flowers, the lovely dogs and cats, and you-- my little friends.... All this precious memories will deeply hide in my heart.When I read the content about the quarrel take place on Arthur, Billy Pillins, , Paul, Alice, Emmie Limb and Eddie Dakin this six children. The writer write:" the six would fight, hate with a fury of hatred, and flee home in terror." I think everyone have the similar experiment that quarrel with our friends or siblings when we were young. No matter how bitter the quarrel is, they would be friends with each other again at last.I remember when I was a little girl, I quarrelled with my best friend who called JiangYan . The reason why we quarrel is that she pushed me and I broken her favorite cup when we play game at her home. She cried and asked me to pay for it, but I refuse her and complain about her fault. And then we did not talk to each other any more. Several days later, we realized we were wrong, we apologized to each other. I bought a new cup for her, and she also sent me a nice dolls. After that the games went on again.... After Jiang Yan moved to the new house, I also move to the new house, then we lost tach to each other. But still miss her, my dear friend. I hope that I will meet you again in somewhere.Although some beautiful things disappear from our life, we should keep your face always to the sunshine and the sadness will fall behind you. Although time and distance separate us, we still remember the purest friendship and blessing. Although childhood is far away from me, but the precious memories would remain my heart forever!ReferenceD. H. Lawrence. Sons and Lovers. Yilin Press, 1996。
儿子与情人读后感英文500字
儿子与情人读后感英文500字Reflections on "Sons and Lovers"D.H. Lawrence's "Sons and Lovers" is a profound exploration of the complexities of familial love,individual aspirations, and the conflicts that arise when these two forces collide. Set against the backdrop of industrial England, the novel tells the story of Paul Morel, a young man grappling with his identity, his desires, andthe expectations of those closest to him.Paul's relationship with his mother, Mrs. Morel, is at the heart of the novel. Their bond is deeply emotional and intense, almost to the point of suffocation. Mrs. Morel's love for her son is possessive and all-consuming,reflecting her own unmet emotional needs and desires. Paul, in turn, finds himself trapped within this love, unable to escape its clutches and pursue his own dreams and ambitions.The clash between Paul's desire for freedom and hismother's clingy affection is particularly poignant. Lawrence captures the suffocating weight of a mother's love and the yearning for independence that is inherent in every individual. This conflict is further exacerbated by Paul's relationship with Clara, a woman who embodies his ideal of love and companionship. Their affair, though passionate, is doomed by Clara's fragile emotional state and Paul's own inability to break free from his mother's shadow.Lawrence's portrayal of the industrial landscape of England adds another layer of complexity to the narrative. The industrialization of the country has not only transformed the landscape but has also altered the social and psychological fabric of society. The Morel family, like many others, is caught in the crosshairs of this transformation, struggling to maintain their traditional values and aspirations amidst the changing times.The novel's exploration of the themes of love, loss, and self-discovery is profound and thought-provoking. Lawrence's writing is both poetic and vivid, bringing the characters and their emotions to life. The narrative isemotional and engaging, making the reader feel theintensity of the characters' passions and conflicts.In conclusion, "Sons and Lovers" is a timeless novel that explores the complexities of familial love, individual aspirations, and the conflicts that arise when these two forces collide. Lawrence's masterful storytelling and profound insights into the human psyche make this a must-read for anyone interested in literature and psychology.。
SonsandLovers英文读书报告读后感论文（500字以上）
SonsandLovers英文读书报告读后感论文（500字以上）Sons and loversThis novel is written by D. H. Lawrence, a man suffered many sorrow and led a miserable life. He had many masterpieces in his life, but this one is the most famous. when he was a child, his mother gave him all her love and attention to him, and trying all her most to get the child away from the mining work( his father’s work), hoping a bright future of her child. Though Lawrence’s ill-parents quarreled frequently, he managed to get enough knowledge from his mother, once a qualified teacher. When he got older, he changed his work about three times, ending up in Croydon as a teacher. It was this time that he started his writing career part-time. Firstly some poems and later novels. After the death of his mother, he became ill and his masterpiece came out after falling in love with Frieda.As for the famous ‘sons and lovers’, I think it is the reflection of the author’s whole life. The main character of the novel, paul, is strongly affected by his mother, even when he meet his first love. Even his deep emotion to Miriam cannot make him betray his mothers’will. That is the evidence of his Oedipus complex, and maybe that can explain why he marries a married women, Clara, for this women lived with him for a long time, and he tests her loyalty until he is 50, which reflects his unrest and suspect emotions for everyone.On my point of view, I think the most unexpected plot is that Paul should have left Miriam, a women he once claimed to love. Every time when I read this part, I am really pity for Miriam, for she give all she has to Paul, but Paul still leaves her, without even a proper explain. And the most disappointed ending is that paulshould have fallen in love with another woman in such a short time. On this issue, I cannot help but to think that paul has never loved Miriam. This is totally unfair to the lovely girl, who gave her heart as well as her body to the young man. From here, we can come to the conclusion that every girl should be careful of these goats, for they may only want to maintain their own physical needs. If we fall too deep into the relationship, we may become the tribute of men’s ignorance.Another impressing scene is the death of Ms. Morel. In fact, the most upset man is Morel, the woman’s husband, whose relationship has maintained for more than 30 years. As the novels puts it: when a man has been married to a woman for over 30 years, she is no longer a woman or a wife. She is half of her husband’s soul. It was the fact that half of him had just died, and he knew that the other half would soon follow. I am deeply touched by their true love, by their dependence to each other, by their superior understanding of the definition of husband and wife. If we want a stable relationship in the future, we must find a friend of our soul, not a cooperated relationship of physical needs.There are too much we can learn from the excellent novel, from the whole experience of the author. As a matter of fact, everyone’s experience is a long journey, as well as an adventure, and an never ending novel.版权所有，请勿原版抄袭；原稿错误多多，尽请指正。

儿子与情人|Sons篇一：读后感(儿子与情人-)sons-and-loversThe Interpretation of the flowers in Sons and Lovers AbstractSons and Lovers, written by DH Lawrence, is an earlier works that reflects both penetrating social problem and psychological problem. The theme of the novel is Paul Morel’s relationship with his mother and her influence upon his development. This paper will talk about the symbol meanings of the flowers. In this novel, different flowers symbolize the three main different women, and reveal their human qualities, such as white lily symbolizes the pure mother’s love; white roses and narcissi imply Miriam’s pure spirit, whereas Miriam’s intimacy to the flowers indicates that her tendency of possessing objects including Paul’s soul; The crimson flowers refer to the passion of Clara. Here, the paper studies the relationship between flowers and main characters, showing that analyzing the meaning of the flowers is important to help us have a better understanding of the theme in the novel.Key words: flowers, relationship, characterIntroductionLawrence’s novels are always full of vivid descriptions of natural environment to show that human beings need to live in a healthy and natural world. Also the natural objects such as trees, flowers, the moon and evenings imply symbolic meanings to make the novel significant. To understand the novel better, this paper tries to use a Semiotics approach to interpret the main symbols, so as to reveal the theme of the novel.In Classics of Semiotics edited by Martin Krampen, Semiotics is thus defined: As a science of sign processes, semiotics investigates all types of communication and information exchange among human beings, animals, plants, internal systems of organisms. Thus it encompasses most of the subject areas of the arts and the social science, as well as those of biology and medicine. According to this theory, there should be some certain connections between the different flower symbols and thethree different kinds of women characters.The Flowers Related to Mrs. MorelEverything Paul does is for his mother. As it is, the flowers he picked can prove us that his mother is his only intimate and his only confidant. We can see this unnatural loveat any occasion in the novel:Then Paul fished out a little spray. He always brought her one spray, the best he could find. (63)”Here’s a bit of new-mown hay,” he said; then, again, he brought her forget-me-nots. And, again, his heart hurt with love, seeing her hand, used with work, holding the little bunch of flowers he gave her. She was perfectly happy.” (114) When Paul takes his mother to Lincoln, She was bright and enthusiastic as ever, but as he sat opposite her in the railway carriage, she seemed to look frail. He had a momentary sensation as if she were sleeping away from him. Then he wanted to get hold of her, to fasten, almost to chain her. He felt he must keep hold of her with his hand. And later he bought her some blue violets. (222)We know that the mother’s love to the son is abnormal, but they are not aware of it. And even this feeling grows unconsciously just like the scyllas flowers growing quietly when Mrs. Morel doesn’t know:Under the fence, in a little bed, was a ravel of poor grassy leaves, such as come from very immature bulbs, and three scyllas in bloom. Mrs. Morel pointed to the deep blue flowers.The white flowers are often related to Mrs. More to expressher spiritual features. Let us examine the passage with which the first chapter of Sons and Lovers ends-where Mrs. Morel, pregnant with Paul, wanders deliriously in the garden, shut out of the house by Morel in his drunkenness. In the garden, she stands cold and isolated from the world, with great anguish, feeling the mystery of the nature and sensing the child within her womb:Mrs. Morel leaned on the garden gate, looking out, and she lost herself awhile. She did not know what she thought. Except for a slight feeling of sickness, and herconsciousness in the child, herself melted out like scent into the shiny, pale air. After a time the child too, melted with her in the mixing-pot of moonlight, and she rested with the hills and lilies and houses, all swum together in a kind of swoon. (22)After getting back in the house, the moment she notices that her face is smeared with the yellow dust of the lilies, she gets relieved, thinking the overpowering scent of the lilies and strange cold light of the moon. It is such a mystical moment that she finds peace in the sensation of her unborn child. This scene is the first indication of a special bond between the mother and the son.Although it is very ordinary, sunflower in the novel is a symbol, too. It symbolizes the shelter that Paul seeks for. Wherever Paul goes, whatever he meets, he always seeks consolation from his mother, and his mother thinks so. We can see it from the following scenes:There was a lovely yellow ravel of sunflowers in the garden. She looked out of the window. “There are my sunflowers!”she said. (352)She sat propped in her chair, smiling, and so pretty. The gold wedding，ring shone on her white hand; Her hair was carefully brushed. And she watched the tangled sunflowers dying, the chrysanthemums coming out, and the dahlias. Paul and she were afraid of each other. He knew, and she knew, that she was dying. (357)When Mrs. Morel is alive, the sunflower is flourishing, and when she is dying, the sunflowers are dying.The Flowers Related to MiriamMiriam loves flowers, but her love is unnatural. She “caress it with her mouth and cheeks and brow”(201). To her, “flowers appeared with such strength she felt she must make them part of herself”(160). The description of Miriam’s love to the flowers indicates two aspects: 1. It is not appreciationof nature, but a sense of possession. 2. A sense of religion. For her, “she was cut off from ordinary life by her religious intensity which made the world for her either a nunnery garden or a paradise, where sin or else are ugly, cruel thing”(138). As a result, the love between Paul and her is doomed to be a failure. We can see this view from the following.Paul passed along a fine row of sweet-peas, gathering a blossom here and there, all cream and pale blue. Miriam followed, breathing the fragrance. To her, flowers appealed with such strength she felt she must make them part of herself. When she bent and breathed a flower, it was, as if she and the flowers were loving each other. Paul hated her for it. There seemed a sort of exposure about the action, something too intimate. (160-1)Miriam loves the flowers in a very intimate way; she always embraces and breathes the flowers, as if they loved each other. It seems that she wants to possess them. Just as Paul said that she wants to “suck them”, it also shows Miriam’s unusual love to things including Paul. The narration of Miriam always connects with white roses and Christian figures to show her pure spirit and religious emotions. However, all these behaviors make Paul feel annoyed, believing that she wanted the soul outof his body, and not him. “She wanted to draw all of him into her.” (179)Lawrence uses flowers to objectify the considerably milder sexual attraction of Miriam. In chapter VII:The place was decorated for Easter. In the front hundreds of white narcissi seemed to be growing. The air was dim and thrilled with a subtle scent of lilies and narcissi. In that atmosphere Miriam’s soul came into a glow…Miriam turned to him. Her soul expanded into prayer beside him. He felt the strange fascination of shadowy religious places. All his latent mysticism quivered into life. She was drawn to him. He was a prayer along with her. (155)Lilies and narcissi in the scene indicate both Miriam’s virgin and her pure soul. And sex-consciousness always fills her with shame. But Paul is so attractive to her, so she would rather sacrifice herself to get the soul of him.In the book, I believe Miriam may be the most miserable figure. While she has no idea what the religion has influenced her, she fails to get Paul, no matter how hard she tries.The Flowers Related to ClaraClara is a woman different from Mrs. Morel and Miriam. If we say the latter are spiritual, the former is passionate.In the novel, being the symbol of passion, she is always connected with crimson. This is the first time that Paul meets Clara in formal occasion. The crimson nasturtiums that come out from the cool green shadow of their leaves predict the coming of Clara. What is more, it also gives hints that Paul will seek a sort of fire in passion.The flowers in the novel stand for the Clara’s charm without doubt. And Paul is drawn into it completely.When Paul and Clara went out, “He bought her a bunch of scarlet, brick-red carnations. She put them in her coat, flushing. (284)When she arose, he, looking on the ground all the time, saw suddenly sprinkled on the black wet beech-roots many scarlet carnation petals, like splashed drops of blood; and red, small splashes fell from her bosom, streaming down her dress to her feet. (289)In all, Clara’s indiscretion makes their first intimacy easy for Paul, despite the hazards. However, they only are able to have sexual connection rather than spiritual words. An old lady in the novel once presents Clara with “three tiny dahlias in full blow, neat as bees, and speckled scarlet and white”(291). And it is clear that their getting together is made“because we were jolly.”ConclusionAs a writer, Lawrence has a great influence on Modern English literature, for he saw the empty soul of the flourishing society. The sons and loves is one of the great novels, and it is rich of all kinds of flowers between the lines, which, to some extent, is important for readers to understand the characters and the themes. After all, the symbolic interpretation of the main objects described many times in the novel has great benefits, and we should learn the flowers seriously in the future research of the sons and lovers.篇二：床头灯.I.儿子与情人._ocr_识别无图版SonsandLoversChapter One The Early Married Life of the Morels (I)Two The Birth of Paul ... .. ... ... . ... ... ...... . ... .. . . , ( 10 ) Chapter Three The Casting off of Morel, the Taking on of William---(20)Chapter Four The Young Life of Paul .... .. . . . .. ... .. ... . . . ..

Annie, who wa.’l only five, cried. to her mother that she wanted to go to the fair. But Mrs. Morel did not know any of her neighbors well enough to trust themwith taking her little girl to the fair. So she promised to take her after lunch.William returned for lunch at half-past twelve. Hewas a very active boy. with blond hair. “Can I have my lunch now,mother?” he asked. “You can have your lunch as soon as it’s ready,”said the mother. “Is it ready yet, I’m going to be late,”he said, while his blue eyes stared at her. “N ‘0, you won t, ‘‘she ‘sald.

The first half of the novel focuses on the love between Paul and his mother, while the rest is about different kinds of love between Paul and two girls.The elder son in the family is William who is a lawyer in London. Paul is the second son, whose mother was born in a middle-class family and she is cultured while his father is a miner in Nottinghamshire mine. His parents fall in love at first sight at a party and they live happily after they get married. Then they make money to support the family together.Their happy time just lasts for a short time. After doingheavy work and seeing many colliery accidents, the father’s temper becomes very grumpy. The mother gets tired of her husband when seeing her drunken husband come back very late. They quarrel frequently and sometimes the husband even beats his wife. Paul’s mother usually hurts deeply after fighting. Day by day, she shows no interest in her husband, but devotes all her love and hope to her children, which results malformed motherly love.William has died of overwork. Then the mother puts all her love to Paul. She encourages Paul to enter high class and become a famous person who can bring fame for her. In order to make up the defect in her marriage, she manages to make Paul not fall in love with other woman. She wants to control Paul’s spirit and even regards Paul as her ideal lover. The love from his mother deeply locks him up in a dark room and he cannot get out of it. Also, he feels painful.Milian and Clara are two girlfriends of Paul. Paul has many interests in common with Milian, but she pursues fulfillment of her spirit too excessively and she is lack of passion. What’s more, she becomes the enemy of Paul’s mother. Paul has to consider his mother’s feeling even if he loves Milian. Clara lives in the lower class, separated her husband. She has a goodrelationship with Paul at first. However, they break up soon because the love between them is just lifeless.After Paul’s mother has died, Paul gets rid of the fetter of his mother’s spiritual control. He could have been reconciled with Milian, but he still rejects her wedding request and chooses to be solitude in the end.Motherly love is great but unilateral. It can only be the children’s love if it should be rewarded. However, the writer challenges the concept. He turns the love between the mother and the son into the love between lovers, which brings negative spirited burden to the son and the mother. The end is doomed to be a tragedy because it is against normal social ethic. But this kind of love is worthy to be thought about.。

SonsandLovers英⽂读书报告Possessive Love—Sons and LoversSons and Lovers, first published in 1913, is a classic written by D.H. Lawrence. Although Sons and Lovers deals with the possessive love with candor and gave rise to a fierce controversy then, it is still one of the greatest autobiographical novels of the 20th centuryThe story occurs in Britain back to the 19th century, when the UK was undergoing the Industrial Revolution. The author presents us a vivid picture of the life of a typical working-class family living in a community of a mining company. With roaring engines and the smoky sky, the story begins.Gertrude Coppard, an elegant middle-class woman, marries Walter Morel, a vulgar working-class miner on an impulse. As the love dies down gradually and chores haunt her frequently, Mrs. Morel’s mental attachment to her husband eventually yields to possessive love on her sons—William and Paul. By and by, the love is growing so overwhelming that the sons have no chance to escape from this entanglement nor, even, can Mrs. Morel get rid of the obsession with her sons. When the two sons are, however, confronted with the chance to pursue their own love, they tend to be fragile, sensitive and awkward. William lavishes on his relationship with Miss Western, a light-hearted young girl, only to find love is no more than money to her and he is totally forgotten by the girl soon after his death; Paul seesaws between Miriam and Clara, finding no way to love pure Miriam completely for her belief in platonic love nor married Clara for their adultery and Mrs. Morel, in addition, makes every effort to prevent her power over Paul from being grabbed by the lovers. As Mrs. Morel passes away, the shackle upon Paul is removed. Insecure and exhausted, hewanders alone, finally.In the eyes of D.H. Lawrence, love is no longer merely a soothing rub; when it grows too possessive, it turns to a heavy punch knocking down everyone.It is the lack of husband’s love actually that gives rise to the possessive love. At first, Mrs. Morel has good management of her love, e.g., on the one hand, she is receiving love from her husband and children; on the other hand she loves them unconditionally in return. Then, however, as the gap between her and Mr. Morel becomes increasingly unbridgeable, this equilibrium is broken that husband’s love is no longer available. As a result, Mrs. Morel decides to do investment of love in order to compensate for the loss of husband’s love.She withdraws her love from her husband who turns out to be an “unfavorable share”and invests it in her two sons. Under the disguise of maternal love, her excessive devotion to the sons is taken as no more than the responsibility of a mother and soon begins to make profits on William: he turns against his father, burns the love letters from young ladies and wins an anvil —all the things the decent young man does only for her. Though she is quite clear that she can never marry William, she regards him as her real husband whose caring deeds are taken as gestures of affection and brings her satisfaction as husband’s love ever did.She should have been content with what she has already gained from this practice of investment, but, unfortunately, she becomes too obsessed to stop and after the death of William she descends to an incurable love speculator finally. Her possessive love reaches its peak.After the death of William, Mrs. Morel has no choice but to put all her devotion to Paul for fear that all her previous efforts should be in vain. And Paul, the poor boy, is totally trapped but cannot figure out why it is so. The confusion is elaborated by Lawrence frequently.” He knew she suffered badly, but why should she? And why did he hate Miriam, and feel so cruel towards her, at the thought of his mother. If Miriam caused his mother suffering, then he hated her—and he easily hated her. Why did he make him…”As a lonely woman, Mrs. Morel wins sound profits from her love investment and then speculation, for her needs of husband’s love are amply met. As a mother, however, she is selfish and her possessive love finally ruins William and Paul despite her great devotion to them.。
儿子与情人读后感英文
儿子与情人读后感英文After reading "Sons and Lovers" by D.H. Lawrence, I was deeply moved by the complex and intense relationships portrayed in the novel. The story revolves around the protagonist, Paul Morel, and his relationships with his overbearing mother, Gertrude, and his passionate lover, Miriam.The novel delves into the intricacies of mother-son relationships and the impact it has on Paul's romantic life. Paul's deep emotional connection with his mother, Gertrude, is both endearing and suffocating. Gertrude's domineering nature and her inability to let go of her son creates a sense of emotional entrapment for Paul. As a result, Paul struggles to form meaningful connections with other women, including Miriam.Paul's relationship with Miriam is intense and passionate, but it is also fraught with conflict and misunderstanding. Miriam is deeply religious and holdsstrong moral values, which clash with Paul's more secular and free-spirited nature. Their inability to bridge thisgap leads to a strained and ultimately unsuccessful relationship.The novel explores the complexities of love, desire,and the impact of family dynamics on romantic relationships. It also delves into the themes of Oedipal complex,emotional dependency, and the struggle for individuality in the face of overbearing parental influence.

Sons and Lovers is a novel written by David Herbert Lawrence and it was first published in 1913 in London by Wyman & Sons.D. H. Lawrence was born at Eastwood, Notts, on September 11, 1885, the fourth child of a miner who had been employed at Brinsley Colliery since he was 7 years old. In 1911, his first novel The White Peacock was published.Sons and Lovers is divided into two parts and is composed of 15 chapters altogether. The story, set in England, can be interpreted as an autobiographical novel of Lawrence. The hero of the book, Paul Morel, is the second son of a miner's family. His mother, Mrs. Morel, is a daughter of a mid-class family. Because of the differences in family background and education, a shadow is soon cast upon the married life of Mrs. Morel. And this shadow is darkened by Mr. Morel's laziness and alcoholism. By misfortune or bad luck, Mr. Morel has an accident and becomes a cripple, which changes him into a man of bad temper. As a result, the couple shares less and less the things in common and is driven farther and farther apart from each other. Little by little, Mrs. Morel transports her attention and love to her children, especially her two sons, William and Paul. She encourages them to leave the small mining region for a big city to find opportunities for a better life. After the death of her first son, William, because of hard work and pneumonia(肺炎), Mrs. Morel's divided attention and love is poured completely upon Paul. The mother's abnormal love robs Paul of his normal love for his girl friend.Sons and Lovers has always been claimed since its publication to be another version of Oedipus complex*. But D. H. Lawrence is in no sense an imitator. Sons and Lovers is trulyan autobiographical novel. It describes an ordinary life of a coal miner's family. The abnormal love from the mother deprives Paul of his independent personality and mental health. It is perhaps because of this true picture of life that the novel has won Lawrence everlasting reputation.Oedipus complex: (psych) love of an infant for the parent of the opposite sex, with jealousyof the other parent. The term originated from a Greek myth in which King Oedipus killed his father and married his mother.（心理学上）（儿子对母亲的）恋母情结（及对父亲的嫉妒）；（女儿对父亲的）恋父情结（及对母亲的嫉妒）。

儿子与情人 英文读后感
Reading Report of Sons and LoversDuring my extracurricular time, I started reading Sons and Lovers, which was written by David Herbert Lawrence. He was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. He was born on September 11, 1885 to a miner and his wife in the small village of Eastwood near Nottingham, England. Arthur and Lydia Lawrence, his parents, had a troublesome marriage from the start: his father, a miner, was content to stay on the mining grounds while his mother yearned to leave. So his childhood was dominated by poverty and friction between his parents. He was educated at Nottingham High School, and won a scholarship. He worked as a clerk in a surgical appliance factory, and then for four years as a pupil-teacher. He was died in Vence, France on March 2, 1930. Lawrence is now valued by many as a visionary thinker and significant representative of modernism in English literature.There is a background before the author wrote this book. Lawrence lived at a time when the Industrial Revolution was taking on the whole world, especially in Great Britain, which changed from agricultural society towards industrial society. And it brought all changes in national and personal lives. Lawrence’s novel Sons and Lovers deals with Lawrence’s personal experiences in the working-class environment in Nottinghamshire.Sons and Lovers is the third published novel of D. H. Lawrence, taken by many to be his earliest masterpiece. It tells the story of Paul Morel, a young man and a budding artist. This autobiographical novel is a brilliant evocation of life in a working class mining community. This novel is about the life of Movels. Mr.Morel, Mrs.Moel, Paul, Miriam and Clara are the main characters in this novel. The author develops the story by portraying the relationships between these characters. But the end of the relationship is a tragedy. I divided this book into two parts. Now I will introduce the first part of this book.The refined daughter of a “good old burgher family,” Gertrude Coppard meets a rough-hewn miner at a Christmas dance and falls into a whirlwind romance. But soon after her marriage to Walter Morel, she realizes the difficulties of living off his meager salary in a rented house. The couple fight and drift apart and Walter retreats to the pub after work each day. Gradually, Mrs.Morel’saffections shift to her sons, beginning with the oldest, William. As a boy, William is so attached to his mother that he doesn’t enjoy the fair without her. As he grows older, he defends her against his father’s occasional violence. Eventually, he leaves home for a job in London, where he begins to rise up into the middle class. He is engaged, but he detests the girl’s superficiality. He dies, and Mrs. Morel is heartbroken, but when William catches pneumonia, she rediscovers her love for her second son. Both repulsed by and drawn to his mother, Paul is afraid to leave her but wants to go out on his own, and needs to experience love. Gradually, he falls into a relation ship with Miriam, a farm girl who attends his church. The two take long walks and have intellectual conversations about books, but resists in, in part because his mother looks down on her.I want to introduce the three characters of this book: Mr. Morel, Mrs Morel and Miriam Leviers. Mr. Morel is Paul's rough, sensual, hard-drinking father. In many ways, he is his wife's opposite. Mr. Morel is from a lower-class mining family. He speaks the local dialect in contrast to his wife's refined English. He loves to drink and dance practices that Mrs. Morel, a strict Congregationalist, considers sinful. Mrs Morel is one of the most formidable mothers in all of Western literature. To the narrator, and perhaps to Paul Morel, she is both a giving, selfless nurturer of her children and a possessive tyrant. Miriam Leviers, Paul's teenage friend and sweetheart, was modeled after Lawrence's own young love, Miriam is Paul's devoted helpmate in his artistic and spiritual quests. Although beautiful, she takes no pleasure in her physical attributes. Her whole life is geared towards heaven and a mystical sense of nature.This is the most autobiographical of all Lawrence’s works as the author himself had a similar relationship with his own mother. The use of this oedipal theme is one of a number of Freudian concepts he used throughout his books. Like many of his works, Sons and Lovers was criticized when first published for obscenity and one publisher called it ”the dirtiest book he had ever read”, but compared to his later works it is quite constrained.There are three females that Paul had loved. The first person is his mother. Paul is afraid to leave her but wants to go out on his own, and experience love. Then, it is Miriam, whom is a farm girl. They have intellectual conversations about books in the nature. At last, Paul meets Clara Dawes, who has separatedfrom her husband, Paul get physical satisfaction from her.I want to show my opinions about the love between Paul and Miriam. Miriam Leviers, Paul's teenage friend and sweetheart, was modeled after Lawrence's own young love. She is romantic in her soul but timid and sensitive in appearance. Miriam is Paul's devoted helpmate in his artistic and spiritual quests. Although beautiful, she takes no pleasure in her physical attributes. Her whole life is geared towards heaven and a mystical sense of nature. Miriam is Paul’s first lover. Miriam loves Paul, but she can’t admit to and has no courage to love. When she loves Paul, she only wants to dominate his mind, then to catc h Paul’s whole soul. But Paul knows that Miriam only loves his soul and wants to posses him. In this book, there is a dialogue between them which Paul rejected Miriam. Miriam said:” You had said that we belong to each other.” “I was young. I did belong to my mother and now she is died. I don’t want to live again with you, not even with you. I’m sure I’ll never find one as g ood as you, But perhaps I under stand at last what the mean to live,”said Paul. For Paul, mother‘s love makes him unhappy, while Miriam seems like his mother as both want to control his soul. Of course, he will against that form of love as he thinks that’s not love and wants to escape from this spiritual love. I think the love was failed because of Miriam’s possession.Then, I’d like to co mpare Lawrence as a combination of both William and Paul. As William, he was a man who grew in such family and had a strong will to break the shackles of his class. William was gifted, he was successful in both his academy work and interpersonal relational, and he escaped from his lamentable family to London. The mentality of William just like Lawrence purred his feel to this character subconsciously: the disgust of his father, admiration of mother, struggle to free himself from the mournful family. All these characteristics are based on author himself experience. Of course, these stuffs also connected with the society at that time, which class you came from can be the first to affect who you were or how you were, in order to change your social status, the post important was to change the class you belonged to. All these ideology created both Lawrence and his William.At the moment, it’s clear that Paul’s Oedipus complex and reasons. Actually Paul has not become a normal adult by getting over some problems likeother children. That is not only determined by his mother’s abnormal maternity. The reasons are in many ways, some comes from the parents; some comes from his sisters and brothers, some even from the society, the mechanical civilization, which leads to the family tragedy and distortion of personality.。
儿子与情人读后感英文500字
儿子与情人读后感英文500字英文回答："Sons and Lovers" by D.H. Lawrence is a complex and emotionally charged novel that explores the relationship between a mother and her sons. Lawrence's vivid prose and insightful characterization bring to life the struggles and passions of the Morel family in early 20th-century England.The novel revolves around Paul Morel, a young man torn between his love for his mother, Gertrude, and his desire for independence. Gertrude is a possessive and manipulative woman who smothers Paul with her affection, hindering his emotional and sexual development. As Paul grows older, he becomes increasingly frustrated by his mother's suffocating embrace and seeks refuge in relationships with other women.Lawrence does an exceptional job of portraying the complexities of Paul's character. Paul is sensitive, intelligent, and ambitious, but he is also weak-willed andindecisive. His inability to reconcile his love for his mother with his desire for freedom leads him into a cycle of self-destruction.In addition to its exploration of familial relationships, "Sons and Lovers" also delves into themes of social class and economic hardship. The Morel family is working-class, and they struggle to make ends meet. This economic pressure further exacerbates the tensions within the family, as Paul feels trapped by his circumstances and yearns for a better life.Lawrence's writing is rich in symbolism and imagery, which adds depth and resonance to the novel. The setting of the Midlands, with its industrial landscapes and bleak mining towns, reflects the emotional struggles of the characters. The recurring motif of birds and animals symbolizes Paul's longing for freedom and his entrapment within his family.Overall, "Sons and Lovers" is a powerful and moving novel that offers a profound exploration of humanrelationships, desire, and the struggle for independence. Lawrence's masterful storytelling and psychological insight make this a classic work of English literature that continues to resonate with readers today.中文回答：D.H.劳伦斯的《儿子与情人》是一部复杂而充满情感色彩的小说，探讨了母亲与儿子之间的关系。
儿子与情人-中英800字-读后感,作文,读书笔记
英文版“Love is a complex and powerful force that can both heal and destroy.” This statement truly reflects the essence of “Sons and Lovers.” The story of the Morel family unfolds like a poignant drama, filled with the intricacies of human relationships and the profound impact of love.The relationship between Paul and his mother, Gertrude, is a central and deeply complex aspect of the novel. Gertrude's initial love and hope for her husband, Walter, gradually turn to disappointment and bitterness. As a result, she pours all her affection and expectations into Paul. Their bond is intense and suffocating at times. For example, when Paul shows interest in other women, Gertrude's possessiveness and jealousy surface, causing great distress to Paul. He loves his mother deeply but also feels trapped by her overpowering love. This relationship not only shapes Paul's character but also has a profound impact on his romantic relationships.Paul's relationship with Miriam is a complex mix of spiritual connection and emotional struggle. They share a deep understanding and appreciation for nature and art, which brings them close on an intellectual and spiritual level. However, their relationship is fraught with difficulties. Miriam's intense and somewhat possessive love makes Paul feel pressured. He often recoils from her, as seen when he becomes irritated by her overly affectionate behavior towards him and her constant need for emotional connection. Their relationship is like a beautiful yet thorny flower, with moments of intense passion and long periods of struggle and misunderstanding.The introduction of Clara into Paul's life adds another layer of complexity. She represents a more worldly and sensual kind of love. Paul is initially drawn to her, attracted by her physicality and a certain air of mystery. But their relationship is also marred by insecurities and power struggles. Clara is a complex character, and her relationship with Paul is a tumultuous journey of discovery and disillusionment.The novel also vividly portrays the social and economic background of the time. The working-class life in the mining community is harsh and unforgiving. The miners, including Walter, face difficult working conditions and financial struggles. This setting not only provides the backdrop for the characters' lives but also influences their choices and relationships. The poverty and the social norms of the time add to the characters' sense of confinement and hopelessness.In conclusion, “Sons and Lovers” is a powerful exploration of love, family, and social class. It shows how these elements interact and shape the lives of the characters. The complex relationships and the vivid portrayal of the era make it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.中文版“爱是一种复杂而强大的力量，既能治愈也能摧毁。

儿子与情人Sons第一篇范文：读后感(儿子与情人-)sons-and-loversThe Interpretation of the flowers in Sons and LoversAbstractSons and Lovers, written by DH Lawrence, is an earlier works that reflects both penetrating social problem and psychological problem. The theme of the novel is Paul Morel's relationship with his mother and her influence upon his development. This paper will talk about the symbol meanings of the flowers. In this novel, different flowers symbolize the three main different women, and reveal their human qualities, such as white lily symbolizes the pure mother's love; white roses and narcissi imply Miriam's pure spirit, whereas Miriam's intimacy to the flowers indicates that her tendency of possessing objects including Paul's soul; The crimson flowers refer to the passion of Clara. Here, the paper studies the relationship between flowers and main characters, showing that analyzing the meaning of the flowers is important to help us have a better understanding of the theme in the novel.Key words: flowers, relationship, characterIntroductionLawrence's novels are always full of vivid descriptions of natural environment to show that human beings need to live in a healthy and natural world. Also the natural objects such as trees, flowers, the moon and evenings imply symbolic meanings to make the novel significant. To understand the novel better, this paper tries to use a Semiotics approach to interpret the main symbols, so as to reveal the theme of the novel.In Classics of Semiotics edited by Martin Krampen, Semiotics is thus defined: As a science of sign processes, semiotics investigates all types of communication and information exchange among human beings, animals, plants, internal systems of organisms. Thus it encompasses most of the subject areas of the arts and the social science, as well as those of biology and medicine. According to this theory, there should be some certain connections between the different flower symbols and the three different kinds of women characters.The Flowers Related to Mrs. MorelEverything Paul does is for his mother. As it is, the flowers he picked can prove us that his mother is his only intimate and his only confidant. We can see this unnatural love at any occasion in the novel:Then Paul fished out a little spray. He always brought her one spray, the best he could find. (63)“Here's a bit of n ew-mown hay," he said; then, again, he brought her forget-me-nots. And, again, his heart hurt with love, seeing her hand, used with work, holding the little bunch of flowers he gave her. She was perfectly happy." (114)When Paul takes his mother to Lincoln, She was bright and enthusiastic as ever, but as he sat opposite her in the railway carriage, she seemed to look frail. He had a momentary sensation as if she were sleeping away from him. Then he wanted to get hold of her, to fasten, almost to chain her. He felt he must keep hold of her with his hand. And later he bought her some blue violets. (222)We know that the mother's love to the son is abnormal, but they are not aware of it. And even this feeling grows unconsciously just like the scyllas flowers growing quietly when Mrs. Morel doesn't know:Under the fence, in a little bed, was a ravel of poor grassy leaves, such as come from very immature bulbs, and three scyllas in bloom. Mrs. Morel pointed to the deep blue flowers.The white flowers are often related to Mrs. More to expressher spiritual features. Let us examine the passage with which the first chapter of Sons and Lovers ends-where Mrs. Morel, pregnant with Paul, wanders deliriously in the garden, shut out of the house by Morel in his drunkenness. In the garden, she stands cold and isolated from the world, with great anguish, feeling the mystery of the nature and sensing the child within her womb:Mrs. Morel leaned on the garden gate, looking out, and she lost herself awhile. She did not know what she thought. Except for a slight feeling of sickness, and herconsciousness in the child, herself melted out like scent into the shiny, pale air. After a time the child too, melted with her in the mixing-pot of moonlight, and she rested with the hills and lilies and houses, all swum together in a kind of swoon. (22) After getting back in the house, the moment she notices that her face is smeared with the yellow dust of the lilies, she gets relieved, thinking the overpowering scent of the lilies and strange cold light of the moon. It is such a mystical moment that she finds peace in the sensation of her unborn child. This scene is the first indication of a special bond between the mother and the son.Although it is very ordinary, sunflower in the novel is a symbol, too. It symbolizes the shelter that Paul seeks for.Wherever Paul goes, whatever he meets, he always seeks consolation from his mother, and his mother thinks so. We can see it from the following scenes:There was a lovely yellow ravel of sunflowers in the garden. She looked out of the window. "There are my sunflowers!" she said. (352)She sat propped in her chair, smiling, and so pretty. The gold wedding，ring shone on her white hand; Her hair was carefully brushed. And she watched the tangled sunflowers dying, the chrysanthemums coming out, and the dahlias. Paul and she were afraid of each other. He knew, and she knew, that she was dying. (357)When Mrs. Morel is alive, the sunflower is flourishing, and when she is dying, the sunflowers are dying.The Flowers Related to MiriamMiriam loves flowers, but her love is unnatural. She "caress it with her mouth and cheeks and brow" (201). To her, "flowers appeared with such strength she felt she must make them part of herself" (160). The description of Miriam's love to the flowers indicates two aspects: 1. It is not appreciation of nature, but a sense of possession. 2. A sense of religion. For her, "she was cutoff from ordinary life by her religious intensity which made the world for her either a nunnery garden or a paradise, where sin or else are ugly, cruel thing" (138). As a result, the love between Paul and her is doomed to be a failure. We can see this view from the following.Paul passed along a fine row of sweet-peas, gathering a blossom here and there, all cream and pale blue. Miriam followed, breathing the fragrance. To her, flowers appealed with such strength she felt she must make them part of herself. When she bent and breathed a flower, it was, as if she and the flowers were loving each other. Paul hated her for it. There seemed a sort of exposure about the action, something too intimate. (160-1) Miriam loves the flowers in a very intimate way; she always embraces and breathes the flowers, as if they loved each other. It seems that she wants to possess them. Just as Paul said that she wants to “suck them”, it also shows Miriam's unusual love to things including Paul. The narration of Miriam always connects with white roses and Christian figures to show her pure spirit and religious emotions. However, all these behaviors make Paul feel annoyed, believing that she wanted the soul out of his body, and not him. “She wanted to draw all of him into her.” (179)Lawrence uses flowers to objectify the considerably milder sexual attraction of Miriam. In chapter VII:The place was decorated for Easter. In the front hundreds of white narcissi seemed to be growing. The air was dim and thrilled with a subtle scent of lilies and narcissi. In that atmosphere Miriam's soul came into a glow。

Book Report of Sons and Lovers
The book which written by D.H. Lawrence is mainly about love between a son and his mother. The first half of the novel focuses on the love between Paul and his mother, while the rest is about different kinds of love between Paul and two girls.
The elder son in the family is William who is a lawyer in London. Paul is the second son, whose mother was born in a middle-class family and she is cultured while his father is a miner in Nottinghamshire mine. His parents fall in love at first sight at a party and they live happily after they get married. Then they make money to support the family together.
Their happy time just lasts for a short time. After doing heavy work and seeing many colliery accidents, the father’s temper becomes very grumpy. The mother gets tired of her husband when seeing her drunken husband come back very late. They quarrel frequently and sometimes the husband even beats his wife. Paul’s mother usually hurts deeply after fighting. Day by day, she shows no interest in her husband, but devotes all her love and hope to her children, which results malformed motherly love. William has died of overwork. Then the mother puts all her love to Paul. She encourages Paul to enter high class and become a famous person who can bring fame for her. In order to make up the defect in her marriage, she manages to make Paul not fall in love with other woman. She wants to control Paul’s spirit and even regards Paul as her ideal lover. The love from his mother deeply locks him up in a dark room and he cannot get out of it. Also, he feels painful.
Milian and Clara are two girlfriends of Paul. Paul has many interests in common with Milian, but she pursues fulfillment of her spirit too excessively and she is lack of passion. What’s more, she becomes the enemy of Paul’s mother. Paul has to consider his mother’s feeling even if he loves Milian. Clara lives in the lower class, separated her husband. She has a good relationship with Paul at first. However, they break up soon because the love between them is just lifeless.
After Paul’s mother has died, Paul gets rid of the fetter of his mother’s spiritual control. He could have been reconciled with Milian, but he still rejects her wedding request and chooses to be solitude in the end.
Motherly love is great but unilateral. It can only be the children’s love if it should be rewarded. However, the writer challenges the concept. He turns the love between the mother and the son into the love between lovers, which brings negative spirited burden to the son and the mother. The end is doomed to be a tragedy because it is against normal social ethic. But this kind of love is worthy to be thought about.。
