Document Summary
D. h lawrence: a lot of his work shaped by travel, fascination with psychology (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Every piece of good fortune turns into something bad: doesn"t love her husband, her kids are a burden, kids judge her, internal unspoken contract between mother and kids. I know i don"t love you and the kids know that, so her punishment is to pretend. Anxiety that this unspoken contract will be found out. She keeps projecting failure onto her husband but she is a failure too. There is a voice of debt in the house that must be appeased in the house. Not necessarily money; you can lose money if you"re rich. Nonsensical no way you can govern luck. Paul says he is lucky; maybe if he becomes/says he is lucky he will make his mother happy and then his mother will love him. If he rides the rocking horse enough, he will discover how he will become lucky.
