About this eBook

Author Lawrence, D. H. (David Herbert), 1885-1930
Title Aaron's Rod
Credits Produced by Doug Levy, and David Widger
Summary "Aaron's Rod" by D. H. Lawrence is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores themes of personal conflict and social dynamics, primarily focusing on the character of Aaron Sisson, a miner and union leader, as he navigates his relationships and responsibilities in a world marked by the aftermath of war, societal expectations, and familial obligations. The opening of the novel introduces us to Aaron Sisson on Christmas Eve, as he returns home from work to his wife and two daughters, who are filled with excitement for the holiday. The atmosphere is one of domesticity mixed with tension, reflecting Aaron's inner tumult stemming from his role in the miners' union and the recent end of the war. As he interacts with his family, we hear the strains of conflict not only between his professional duties and his family life but also in the criticism from his wife about his priorities. This layered depiction of personal and social expectations sets the tone for the complexities of Aaron's character as he grapples with his commitments and yearnings. The beginning establishes a narrative rich with emotional depth and societal commentary, suggesting a profound exploration of the human experience in the context of early 20th-century England.
