D.H. Lawrence ve Baba Katilliği

Abstract

D. H. Lawrence
 (1885-1930) is an English writer and poet of the 20th century. He wrote many
 novels, short stories, and poems reflecting human psychology. His short story
 “The Rocking-Horse Winner” is an autobiographical work delineating the
 mother-son and father-son relationships with reference to the Freudian theory
 of “patricide”. Therefore, this article portrays how the protagonist of the
 short story resembles Lawrence himself in the sense that they both kill their
 fathers symbolically.
