Sample text
It is because the Paul perceived by Miriam here as sparing ‘neither himself nor anybody else’ is effectively entrusted with a considerable part of the narrative viewpoint in Sons and Lovers. In this sense the book does indeed have, if not two competing voices, then a divided voice within its formally single narration. Much of the book, particularly in the first part, comes from the voice that can make you ‘feel Taffy’s cunning’ while the latter part uses Paul’s viewpoint in a way that has seemed to many readers to give it a tendentious undertow of self-vindication.
Her newly active and discriminating responsiveness is caught through the use of simile. The phlox ‘seemed like bushes spread with linen’. It is not just the homely and appropriate nature of the simile here, although that does bear upon the way she eventually returns to the house and her domestic chores by the end of the episode. It is rather that the use of simile at all, as attributed to Mrs Morel’s consciousness at this point, catches her newly recovered poise. The simple declarative sentences of the final brief paragraph catch the escape from self.
For his relativity is not just between characters but between moments and impulses within the same character. With hindsight we can 38 Michael Bell appreciate how the highly ‘subjective’ local use of Paul’s perception in Sons and Lovers was to provide the method for an impersonal dramatisation of long-term emotional processes in his later fiction. But the novel itself does not consistently generate that secondary understanding of its immediate action. The novel records, often in a penetrating and impressive way, the emotional process as experienced by Paul but does not quite communicate the process itself.
