His works explore issues such as sexuality, emotional health, vitality and instrict. He wrote 'The Rainbow', 'Women in Love', 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' besides 'Sons and Lovers'. The main theme of this novel 'Sons and Lovers', is 'Family Psychology, and the Oedipus complex' the story focuses that Paul thinks death would reunite him with his mother, but he doesn't commit suicide and starts living a good life and get over his mother's death. The author has focused on family relationship and it narrates the unhappy marriage between Mrs Morel and and drinking coal-miner. Paul becomes very possessive for her mother's corpse even. He doesn't allow even his neighbours to come & see her corpse. The beauty of this novel is that it may be based on the author's own experience and self. It seems as most of the matter related to the author's own early life in the midland coal-mining village of Eastwood. His father was a coal-miner with little education. In this novel the family conflicts of the Morel couple stands similar to the Lawrence couple.'Sons & Lovers' narrates how the conflict usually takes place in such places. Its presentation is somehow very original and touchy. This novel is Lawrence's most autobiographical novel.
