Sons and Lovers is largely an autobiographical
novel told by means of straightforward narrative and vivid episodes in chronological sequence.

Viewpoints in Lawrence’s writings
Under this mechanical control, human beings were turned into inanimated matter, while the inanimated matter should be animated to destroy both man and earth. It is this agonized concern about the dehumanizing effect of mechanical civilization on the sensual tenderness of human nature that haunts Lawrence’s writing.
