Real literature...


D.H Lawrence wrote “Odor of Chrysanthemums “and “Rocking-horse winner”. This novel writer represented one of the greatest figures in the 20th century. Even though people say that writers can be separated from the narrator of a novel, so what is being read should be taken from the voice of the narrator of a written work.


I guess this time that theory cannot be applied. I strongly believe that D.H Lawrence clearly influenced his writing by situations that happened directly to him. I mean, his writing is not something far from what people are to face through the course if their lives. Actually, this kind of writing really portrays what happens in real life.


In both short stories there are features of D.H Lawrence’s life. For example the fact that he was the son of a coal miner and “Odour of Chrysanthemums” presents the difficulties that the family of a miner, have to cope with. On the other hand, “The Rocking-horse winner” illustrates the friction of a marriage because of being always short of money; it’s known that Lawrence’s childhood was very poor.


I liked reading this sort of texts because they are very appealing to me; besides issues seen in the novels are very likely to be timeless. Despite the fact that time can pass by, there will be always some situations that might be repetitive through the development of human society.
