Read the following statements regarding D.H. Lawrence's 'Sons and Lovers' and select the most appropriate option. Lawrence has shown through the female characters that there is pay parity in the society when it comes to remunerating the work done by both the genders in 'Sons and Lovers'. He also demonstrated the condition of women in an abusive marriage and how young girls are not allowed to indulge in intellectual pleasures of philosophy and poetry. Assertion (A): However, these females were merely demonstrated as caricatures of their counterparts in the society while no attention has been paid to portray the complexities of their inner world and psyche along with their private struggles. Example (E): The women characters were easily influenced by the central male figure and act against their own interests for the sake of the hero.
