The Love of Money
In the short story “The Rocking-Horse Winner”, D. H. Lawrence uses the character of the mother to emphasize what can happen to a family when a family mistakes money for love. The story is based around a small family that is in need of more money, or so they think. The young boy, Paul, is determined to be lucky and to somehow provide enough money so that he and the rest of his family can be happy. Lawrence uses the characters perception of money along with irony in “The Rocking-Horse Winner” to show how misconceptions of luck and money can inevitably cause the destruction of the family.
