论《儿子与情人》中的母子关系分析劳伦斯，20世纪英国作家，是20世纪英语文学中最重要的人物之一，也是最具争议性的作家之一。

主要成就包括小说、诗歌、戏剧、散文、游记和书信。

生于一个煤矿工人家庭。

年轻时当过教师。

劳伦斯创作深受弗洛伊德心理分析学影响。

劳伦斯的作品过多地描写了色情，受到过猛烈的抨击和批评。

但他在作品中力求探索人的灵魂深处，并成功地运用了感人的艺术描写，因此，从他生前直到迄今为止，他的作品一直被世界文坛所重视。

《儿子与情人》是他的力作，也为劳伦斯赢得了广泛的声誉。

这是一部几乎作者本人自传体的小说。

小说的主人公保罗即为劳伦斯自我的影子。

这部作品以十九世纪中叶英格兰中部诺丁汉郡劳伦斯家乡一带煤、铁矿区与水乡阡陌纵横交叉的地带为背景，描述了一幅煤矿工人家庭的生活图景，真实而生动地传达了当时的历史和社会气息。

这部小说的前半部带有很大的自传性，真实地记叙了劳伦斯早年的生活经历。

劳伦斯生于1885年。

父亲是矿工，缺少教育；母亲出身上流社会，有良好的修养。

这种文化上的差异，使他们经常吵吵闹闹。

但这种差异使劳伦斯从父亲那里得到了丰富的社会经验，从母亲那里至高无上的关怀。

也许是母亲过分溺爱，劳伦斯有严重的恋母情结。

他在给朋友的信中说：“我们相互爱着，几乎像丈夫跟妻子那样的爱，同时又是母亲与儿子的爱。

我们俩就像一个人，彼此那样敏感，我们之间不要语言。

这挺可怕，弄得我有些方面不正常。

”一般认为，小说中的儿子保罗就是劳伦斯的化身，而莫雷尔太太就是劳伦斯的母亲莉蒂娅，保罗的女友米丽安就是劳伦斯的初恋情人杰茜。

《儿子与情人》的主线之一是以劳伦斯和杰茜的私情为蓝本，而劳伦斯母亲那强烈变态的母爱足以扼杀劳伦斯任何正常的爱情。

一、恋母情结恋母情结又称俄狄浦斯情结，是精神分析学的术语。

精神分析学的创始人弗洛伊德认为，儿童在性发展的对象选择时期，开始向外界寻求性对象。

对于幼儿，这个对象首先是双亲，男孩以母亲为选择对象而女孩则常以父亲的选择对象。
