Write a note on the character of Paul Morel in Sons and Lovers.

Introduction: Paul Morel, a coal miner’s son in D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers (1913) whose mother has great ambitions for him, was ‘caught between two worlds' quite early in life. As a result of discord and strife between his parents, the home environment was uncongenial and agonizing, and this put an excessive emotional strain on the growing child. He was pale and sickly, and had frequent fits of depression and melancholy, and would weep without cause. The father would come home drunk and would often give a black eye to the mother. Paul would lie awake in his bed attentive, listening to every sound, praying for the safety of his mother and guessing as to what his father will do next. The silence terrified him all the more, for it seemed to him to be the silence of blood. The result was that became neurotic hypersensitive introvert, who shrank form least contact with the outside world.

Lacking Responsibility and Unsatisfactory Emotional Adjustment: The more Paul grows up, the more he hides his face. it is torture for him to go to the co-operative office to look up the 'wants column' in news papers, or to go out to collect his father's wages. It is his mother who launches him into life and takes him to Jordon’s factory’s he goes through agonies of self-consciousness, he remains tongue-tied, cannot write or answer a single question, and it is sheer good luck that he is appointed. One feels that life is too large for this neurotic and he will never be able to shoulder the responsibilities of his life. As the matters get more worse, his mother turns to him for emotional fulfillment and makes him husband-substitute. Excessive mother-love makes him incapable of reaching satisfactory emotional adjustments with any other woman. All his life he wants to be mothered, taken care of and wants some one to shoulder the responsibility of his life. The feelings of sincerity and fear over-power him so much so that his is the mother the very pole and axis of his life..................
