Sons and Lovers is widely considered by critics and readers alike as D.H. Lawrence' s masterpiece and a classic interpretation of the oedipal complex. Surely one of the greatest autobiographical novels ever written, it tells the story of Paul Morel, a sensitive artist with a far stronger attachment to his mother than his working-class, alcoholic father. Searching for love and human connection, Paul is torn between two very different women, but neither of them measures up to his mother.

This is a very long therapy session you might not want to stick around for. Like Oedipus only our Paul knows he’s obsessed with his mother. Actually he’s not, he just uses her as an excuse to behave inconsiderately to other women in his life.
