Sons And Lovers 2003 Movie Download

Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence. It traces emotional conflicts through the protagonist, Paul Morel, and his suffocating relationships with a demanding mother and two very different lovers, which exert complex influences on the development of his manhood. The novel was originally published by Gerald Duckworth and Company Ltd., London, and Mitchell Kennerley Publishers, New York. While the novel initially received a lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement. It tells us more about Lawrence's life and his phases, as his first was when he lost his mother in 1910 to whom he was particularly attached. And it was from then that he met Frieda Richthofen, and around this time that he began conceiving his two other great novels, The Rainbow and Women in Love, which had more sexual emphasis and maturity.

The refined daughter of a "good old burgher family," Gertrude Coppard meets a rough-hewn miner, Walter Morel, at a Christmas dance and falls into a whirlwind romance characterised by physical passion but soon after her marriage to Walter, she realises the difficulties of living off his meagre salary in a rented house. The couple fight and drift apart and Walter retreats to the pub after work each day. Gradually, Mrs. Morel's affections shift to her sons beginning with the oldest, William.

The first part of the novel focuses on Mrs. Morel and her unhappy marriage to a drinking miner. She has many arguments with her husband, some of which have painful results: on separate occasions, she is locked out of the house and hit in the head with a drawer. Estranged from her husband, Mrs. Morel takes comfort in her four children, especially her sons. Her oldest son, William, is her favorite, and she is very upset when he takes a job in London and moves away from the family. When William sickens and dies a few years later, she is crushed, not even noticing the rest of her children until she almost loses Paul, her second son, as well. From that point on, Paul becomes the focus of her life, and the two seem to live for each other.

Meanwhile another infant was coming, fruit of this little peace and tendernessbetween the separating parents. Paul was seventeen months old when the new babywas born. He was then a plump, pale child, quiet, with heavy blue eyes, andstill the peculiar slight knitting of the brows. The last child was also a boy,fair and bonny. Mrs. Morel was sorry when she knew she was with child, both foreconomic reasons and because she did not love her husband; but not for the sakeof the infant.

When he was nineteen he suddenly left the Co-op. office and got a situation inNottingham. In his new place he had thirty shillings a week instead ofeighteen. This was indeed a rise. His mother and his father were brimmed upwith pride. Everybody praised William. It seemed he was going to get onrapidly. Mrs. Morel hoped, with his aid, to help her younger sons. Annie wasnow studying to be a teacher. Paul, also very clever, was getting on well,having lessons in French and German from his godfather, the clergyman who wasstill a friend to Mrs. Morel. Arthur, a spoilt and very good-looking boy, wasat the Board-school, but there was talk of his trying to get a scholarship forthe High School in Nottingham.

They were very poor that autumn. William had just gone away to London, and hismother missed his money. He sent ten shillings once or twice, but he had manythings to pay for at first. His letters came regularly once a week. He wrote agood deal to his mother, telling her all his life, how he made friends, and wasexchanging lessons with a Frenchman, how he enjoyed London. His mother feltagain he was remaining to her just as when he was at home. She wrote to himevery week her direct, rather witty letters. All day long, as she cleaned thehouse, she thought of him. He was in London: he would do well. Almost, he waslike her knight who wore her favour in the battle.

The sixteen slow miles of railway journey passed. The mother and son walkeddown Station Street, feeling the excitement of lovers having an adventuretogether. In Carrington Street they stopped to hang over the parapet and lookat the barges on the canal below.

She stood in her white apron on the open road, watching him as he crossed thefield. He had a small, compact body that looked full of life. She felt, as shesaw him trudging over the field, that where he determined to go he would get.She thought of William. He would have leaped the fence instead of going roundthe stile. He was away in London, doing well. Paul would be working inNottingham. Now she had two sons in the world. She could think of two places,great centres of industry, and feel that she had put a man into each of them,that these men would work out what she wanted; they were derived fromher, they were of her, and their works also would be hers. All the morning longshe thought of Paul.

He would not have it that they were lovers. The intimacy between them had beenkept so abstract, such a matter of the soul, all thought and weary struggleinto consciousness, that he saw it only as a platonic friendship. He stoutlydenied there was anything else between them. Miriam was silent, or else shevery quietly agreed. He was a fool who did not know what was happening tohimself. By tacit agreement they ignored the remarks and insinuations of theiracquaintances.

That was more probably one of his own reasons for liking Mrs. Dawes, but thisdid not occur to him. They were silent. There had come into his forehead aknitting of the brows which was becoming habitual with him, particularly whenhe was with Miriam. She longed to smooth it away, and she was afraid of it. Itseemed the stamp of a man who was not her man in Paul Morel.

So he went as often, but he was usually with Edgar. Only all the family,including the father, joined in charades and games at evening. And later,Miriam drew them together, and they read Macbeth out of penny books,taking parts. It was great excitement. Miriam was glad, and Mrs. Leivers wasglad, and Mr. Leivers enjoyed it. Then they all learned songs together fromtonic sol-fa, singing in a circle round the fire. But now Paul was very rarelyalone with Miriam. She waited. When she and Edgar and he walked home togetherfrom chapel or from the literary society in Bestwood, she knew his talk, sopassionate and so unorthodox nowadays, was for her. She did envy Edgar,however, his cycling with Paul, his Friday nights, his days working in thefields. For her Friday nights and her French lessons were gone. She was nearlyalways alone, walking, pondering in the wood, reading, studying, dreaming,waiting. And he wrote to her frequently.

So the wedding took place almost immediately. Arthur came home, and wassplendid in uniform. Annie looked nice in a dove-grey dress that she could takefor Sundays. Morel called her a fool for getting married, and was cool with hisson-in-law. Mrs. Morel had white tips in her bonnet, and some white on herblouse, and was teased by both her sons for fancying herself so grand. Leonardwas jolly and cordial, and felt a fearful fool. Paul could not quite see whatAnnie wanted to get married for. He was fond of her, and she of him. Still, hehoped rather lugubriously that it would turn out all right. Arthur wasastonishingly handsome in his scarlet and yellow, and he knew it well, but wassecretly ashamed of the uniform. Annie cried her eyes up in the kitchen, onleaving her mother. Mrs. Morel cried a little, then patted her on the back andsaid:

But she was a married woman, and he believed in simple friendship. And heconsidered that he was perfectly honourable with regard to her. It was only afriendship between man and woman, such as any civilised persons might have.

He looked round. A good many of the nicest men he knew were like himself, boundin by their own virginity, which they could not break out of. They were sosensitive to their women that they would go without them for ever rather thando them a hurt, an injustice. Being the sons of mothers whose husbands hadblundered rather brutally through their feminine sanctities, they werethemselves too diffident and shy. They could easier deny themselves than incurany reproach from a woman; for a woman was like their mother, and they werefull of the sense of their mother. They preferred themselves to suffer themisery of celibacy, rather than risk the other person.

Now, I believe 'lovers' eyes' is used as a romantic synonym for sin, wrong-doings etc. This lyric questions how God could expect us as humans to completely repent sin? How can we be expected to always do right and be selfless when it is in our nature to be selfish? This man is asking, are we not too weak as humans to overcome sin?

I don't think it's about God. Sorry. Mumford and Sons have stated that they're not religious, they're spiritual. Mumford's parents both head the Vineyard churches in the UK and Ireland which to me suggests that had Mumford and Sons been referring to God in this song, they definitely wouldn't refer to God as 'lover' for obvious reasons :P I think they keep it vague to allow many people to be able to relate to the song.

imo, i think it's about young love. ("were we too young? and heads too strong?to bear the weight of these lover's eyes.") the couple fell in love at a young age, probably early teenage years, and at that point in life they weren't ready for the commitment and trust of a relationship. they were too young, weren't sure of who they were just yet, still figuring things out, but they fell in love. i think the boy cheated on her, and now he's feeling remorse but understands they were too young for things to get so serious.that's just what i think (: this song is gorgeous, regardless. i love mumford and sons.

The title Sons and Lovers is ambiguous, suggesting that a woman's son might become the lover of another woman or that a son might become an incestuous lover to his mother. This second interpretation provides a nod toward the novel's oedipal theme, based on the myth of Oedipus, who was cursed to marry his mother and kill his father. The characters of William and Paul Morel might be viewed as both Mrs. Morel's sons and lovers. ff782bc1db
