Myths and Legends in Modernism
Summary: The Modernist writers D. H. Lawrence, in his novel Sons and Lovers, and James Joyce, in his novel Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, successfully use ancient myths and legends to explain the darkest secrets of the human subconsciousness. Lawrence uses the myth of Oedipus to reveal the split consciousness of a man who lives under the dominance of his mother. Joyce, meanwhile, uses an allusion of the mythological craftsman Daedalus and the disastrous fall of his son Icarus in order to present the life and ill fate of an artist.
