The Rocking Horse Winner

The Rocking Horse Winner - DH Lawrence

10.07.07


Lookie, another version of reality. Houses talk, and riding on a toy horse allows you to see the winner of the nearest horse race.

That's what this one is all about, really. We need money, parents say. House says to the kid that they need money. Kid gambles and wins. Keeps gambling until he abruptly dies.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to achieve.
What, am I supposed to sympathize or something?
