The "Moneydernism"-Horse Winner


Money, money... This word has been the word that I have heard almost all the time in my entire life. People are so blind because of greed and ambition to have and have material things which at the end kill them. In The Rocking-Horse Winner, Lawrence states the story of a family who loses everything, even love because of money. My mother is always mentioning, “You don’t understand that without money we can’t eat, have what we want, things for the house, and so on.” Unfortunately, she is right. However, this is true due to this material world. Industrialism has made worse people rather than improving it. This is a very difficult issue. D.H Lawrence knew this so well. He lived it. He hated it.
Nowadays, love is in this system of ‘Moneydernism’ (I gave this name to this situation) . For example, you have to be in love of someone who has a good standard and high socio-economic condition, etc. why? Where are the others? This provokes me to fall in the deepest hopeless, and makes me more difficult the possibility to change this world.
Lawrence suffered because of materialism, modernism, individualism, and industrialism; so he wanted to show this problem in his works to try making changes in people’s minds.
