High School - 10th GradePosted by linda-allen on Thursday December 13, 2007 at 6:21 PMYes, the story of Paul Morel is based on D. H. Lawrence's own life. The eNotes essay "Lawrence's Novel as a Bildungsroman" (linked below) discusses how the author uses the fictional Morel to explore the difficulties of negotiating the "the pull of family and culture to cultivate his individuality."
