Paul Morel is the protagonist in the second part of the novel and goes through a steady decline. To say that he is a 'mamma's boy' is an understatement. In fact, it is his inability to separate himself from his mother that is an underlying factor in his decline. All of this relationships with women are based on an idealized version of his mother which none of them can measure up to. Paul is sensitive and artistic and when his mother dies, he almost does as well. He is so wrapped up in his own identity as based on his mother and her perspectives that when she is gone, he is lost. His struggle to 'find' himself and establish his own identity nearly undoes him.
thanks a lot...but i meant about the father not Paul!
the decline about Walter Morel
please i need it...my professor wants it from me
and i have only few houres left to school,,i got to go
One of the features of the English novel is the transition period (1880- 1920) is the progressive decline of the hero. It is not the purpose of this research to investigate why this should have taken place, but several critics have put forward their own interpretations of this phenomenon. It may be the decreasing stature of the authoritarian father figure in the fiction of the transition period linked to the decline of the hero. The fact that England was ruled by a queen, who was openly referred to as the "Mother" of the country, is probably important.
What I have tried to do in the pages that follow is to show that the image of the great male figure underwent considerable change in D.H. Lawrence's autobiographical novel Sons and Lovers.
Lawrence's outlook on life is not much different from that of his contemporaries. He, too, is interested in the study of man and the record of the human experience. He believed in the individuality of man and his right to establish world according to his own world according to his line of thought.
In Sons and Lovers (1913) D.H. Lawrence attacked not only the Victorian society, but also the Victorian family. Perhaps his personal experience as a son of a collier motivated him to write about the miners and their painful life. Because of his parents unhappy marriage, D.H. Lawrence denied all social bonds. He believed in the freedom of the individual: "Each (man or woman) must be true to himself, herself, his own manhood, her own womanhood, and let the relationship work out of itself."
Mrs. Morel in Sons and Lovers was a proud, highly-cultured woman, married beneath her to Walter Morel a vigorous miner. This marriage did not bring her the happiness she had dreamt of. On the contrary, she became one of miserable wives we often encounter in fiction.

When Mrs. Morel first falls in love with Walter, the dude won't touch a single drop of booze. His sobriety doesn't last long, though, because it's only six months into his marriage when he decides that he really, really likes to drink. As you might imagine, spending half his life drunk and the other half hungover makes Walter a pretty irritable guy.
