The Rocking Horse Winner by DH Lawrence

Point of View: This story is narrated by third person.
Characterazation:
Paul: Paul is protogonist. We can learn his all thoughts and feelings. He thinks that he is not unlucky as his father and he wants to prove himself. He wants to make his mather happy. As the time goes by, he depresses. He is also round character because his life completely changes. At the end of story he proves himself but he dies.
Mrs.Hester: Mrs.Hester is protogonist. She thinks that her husband is unlucky that's why she is also unlucky. She thinks that luck is money. She always desires much more money. She does not show her affection to her children. She is also round character. She experiences a lot of changes in her life. Before she marries, she is lucky bur after her marriage she becomes unlucky. At the end of the story she has got a lot of money and she loses her son, Paul.
Ironies:
1. At the beginning of the story the mother wants luck and money. After earning a lot of money, she thinks that she will be happy and luck brings money. But at the end of the story, she has got a lot of money and she loses her son. Briefly, the rocking horse which brings him his "luck" is what brings him his death. This is dramatic irony.
2. Uncle Oscar thinks that his nephew, Paul, is not successful in racing horse. He makes fun of him. But after Paul starts to earn money from racing horse, Uncle Oscar becomes the partner of Paul. This is irony.
Conflict:
Internal Conflict: Paul is in conflict with himself. He always thinks whether he will make his mother happy or not and he chooses the right horse or not. At the end, he gets depressed and loses his conscience. He dies.
Fable The story is written like a fable. We can see the example of this. There is a horse which can speak to Paul. There is also whisper in the house and these are supernatural events. The story begins like this "there was a woman". This is one of the beginning of a fable.
