Industrialization has endowed the modern civilization with rapid and much progress but at the same time it has snatched away the vitality of life. As England is the home ground of industrialization, she suffers much the sweet agony of it. David Herbert Lawrence's Sons and Lovers is an authentic document of the English lower class life in the beginning of the twentieth century. In this novel the mining people, their mental attitude, modes of life, habits and the yells of their domestic joys and cares are depicted in an industrialized society. Industrialization and its rigid moral codes enslave nature and evaporate the sensual and aesthetic needs of man. Factory life with its enforced confinement and long working hours isolate man from the natural world, the true source of life force. Modern industrial life perverts people. Under the impact of industrialism and rapid urbanization human mind loses its fertility, becomes barren as a desert. It profoundly affects the family life of the lower class working people who work in coal mines. With the process of industrialization and urbanization, extended families are breaking down and kinship is declining. This paper aims at demonstrating how industrialization is becoming a tool in the disintegration of family bonds as depicted in David Herbert Lawrence's Sons and Lovers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
