Abstract
Lawrence’s masterpiece Sons and Lovers is researched by many people. By describing the Paul’s hesitation among his mother Mrs. Morel, his girlfriend Miriam and his lover Clara, Lawrence proved that the complicated emotional world affected Paul’s love and his life. Through analysis of Paul’s life and relationships with others in the novel, this paper attempts to demonstrate that Lawrence the writer and his three female characters, Mrs. Morel, Clara and Miriam, destroyed Paul spiritually, which shows the inevitability of Paul’s tragedy.
