Abstract :
Sons and Lovers is repeatedly analyzed along the lines of the well known Freudian theory of Oedipus complex, and mother fixation was claimed as the central problem of the protagonist, Paul Morel. The novel is in fact an exploration of the different dimensions of love. It is largely an autobiographical novel, based on the complex psyche of the protagonist, who was trying to find the real love in his life. The Indian philosophy also explores the different facets of love. In the land of Krishna and Radha, Mira Bai, Ram and Sita, where various shades of love are explored, perhaps D.H. Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers would be understood at a different level. Physical love, Spiritual love as well as the amalgamation of the spiritual and physical love is portrayed in Indian mythology and philosophy in various manifestations. In the Hindu mythology there are various dimensions of love, and it is believed that true love can very well be a path towards salvation. Paul Morel in Sons and Lovers is in search of an ideal love, which he fails to attain till the end, and consequently becomes a lonely and pathetic figure. My paper attempts to analyze the various facets of love in the novel Sons and Lovers.
