An Analysis of the Images of Women in Sons and Lovers
Abstract
In Sons and Lovers, D. H. Lawrence examines three destructive forms of love from which Paul Morel struggles to free himself: Oedipal love, spiritual love, and unbalanced--possessive love, which respectively define his relationships with his mother, Miriam and Clara. In Paul’s whole life, his mother, who shaped his character, is just a moulder of him. Miriam Leivers seems as an angel for him, and she makes him realize the weakness of pure spiritual love. The last female Clara Dawes seems as Satan for Paul, and she makes him understand that physical love is also unperfect. He will surely have no real love for a woman and no happy marriage in his life and is doomed to have a tragic ending with his love affairs. The feminists believe that men and women suffer great depression when they are in love just because their body is separated from their soul. Accordingly, this thesis puts forward an ideal love outlook: the combination of spiritual and physical love.

摘 要
在《兒子與情人》這部小説中， 勞倫斯認為正是由於保羅對小説中的3位女性的不同的3種愛， 使他能從3角關係中解脱出來：第1種是母愛，第2種是純潔的`精神戀愛， 第3種是性愛。對於保羅來説，母親是他的1個模板，塑造了他的個性； 米莉安對於他來説猶如1個天使， 讓他認識到了僅有精神戀愛是不夠的； 克拉拉對他來説猶如1個撒旦， 使他認識到只有肉體的愛情也是1種缺陷。 她們的存在使保羅無法正常的戀愛結婚從而導致他每次戀愛的無果。 女性主義認為男女主人公在戀愛時所遭受的痛苦是由於他們性格上的不健全， 1直處於1種靈與肉分離的狀態。本文通過對小説中的人物及其4人之間關係的分析， 來證明勞倫斯的《兒子與情人》是從靈與肉的分離走向靈與肉的結合， 同時從中更進1步的理解那個時代的女性。
