The children in "Sons and lovers" by DH Lawrence and "What massie Knew "by Henry James

        The characters in Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence and the characters in What Maisie Knew each have a special meaning. They all seem to be interwoven with one another portraying a new cycle in another characters life. For instance, in What Maisie Knew Mrs. Wix was introduced, in my opinion, at a time when Maisie needed a mother figure. Also, Sir Claude is introduced when she seems to need a father figure. On …

…Maisie's parents abandon her, she seems to get angry, however, she also seems to be happy. Also Paul seems to get angry at his mother for having such control over him, and, at the same time he feels a deep passionate love for her. James and Lawrence, in my opinion, are trying to get the readers drawn into the book and their own conscious mind. Thus, making them more aware of their thoughts and surroundings.
