D.H Lawrence also repeats words and images that important to understanding the person's character. For Paul he constantly refers to his blue eyes, which are range from glaring to uncanny to mad. For Paul's mother he constantly refers to her heart, which gradually open up to her child until at the end story, like her child's eyes, her heart has turned to stone.
