Özet:

The central objective of this study is to examine the effects of the phenomenon of Mother Fixation in D.H. Lawrence‟s novel Sons and Lovers on students‟ perception. In a conventional family culture of Pakistan, mother-son tie is considered as the warmest bond but Lawrence has portrayed a very eccentric sort of mother-son relationship, causing sensation among readers. The principal argument arises from the hypothesis that the main theme of the novel is in absolute disparity with the social values of Pakistani society, so it aggravates contrary response from students. While using phenomenology as research paradigm with structured, semi-structured, informal and retrospective interviews as methods of data collection, this study aims at analyzing the influence of Mother Fixation on students‟ judgments, emotional state and actions. Findings of the study reveal that the selected phenomenon of Mother Fixation in terms of sexuality does not seem to be applicable to Pakistani society. Besides, if the novel is taught by taking care of the moral confines of our society, it might not exercise perilous impact on students.
