Sons and Lovers - Part One

So far this is an interesting tale that has kept my attention. I am thankful that 'lovers' is not literally what Mrs. Morel has made of her sons but the close attachment is still pretty creepy.

I think that what she is doing is overstepping her boundaries but I can see how she got to that point. To be in a horrible marriage such as her must be a living hell. Its unfortunate that in those days, divorce was not an option and she was completely stuck living with a man she despised leaving no option but to turn to her children for love and companionship. It makes a strong case for being sure of the person that you are going to marry because it is the biggest decision in one's life (Hear that Kim Kardashian??).

I can't believe William died! Not only has Paul lost his brother but he is likely going to be more controlled and coveted by his mother than ever. I hope he is strong enough to rise above it.

Why is she not spending any of her energy on her daughter? That seems like it would be a good choice for female companionship but apparently that's not what Mrs. Morel is after. I really hope this doesn't get creepier as I read on...
