The document is a student essay analyzing the short story "My Oedipus Complex" in relation to early 20th century England. The story is set during World War I and depicts the economic struggles of a working class family at that time. It also explores the complex relationship between the narrator, a young boy named Larry, and his mother. The setting and descriptions of the family's home are indicative of typical working class living conditions in England at the start of the 20th century, with separate front and back rooms downstairs and small bedrooms upstairs. At the conclusion of the war, Larry finds that his mother dotes more on his returning father than on him, which he does not like.
