Abstract: We investigate D. H. Lawrence’s delineation of Paul’s personality development and its harmony with Freudian concept in the novel Sons and Lovers. The study has approached the novel from psychological perspective particularly emphasizing Freudian Theory of Psychosexual Development. The qualitative research paradigm is adopted focusing on textual data analysis of the novel Sons and Lovers. The findings of the study revealed how Paul’s early childhood trauma caused by his father’s brutal treatment and mother’s over-indulgence make him fall victim to complex emotional problems that exerted quite negative impact on his personality development.
