Rocking Horse Winner When a person is lucky, it doesn’t not have to mean that they are fortunate with money. Luck is the chance for things to go the way you want them to go with out having any control over the situation. In The Rocking Horse Winner by D.H. Lawrence, the mother seems to believe that luck is strictly having money, and when there is no money, there is no luck. The mother’s idea of luck meaning money brings forth the two ideas of greed and death throughout the story. Money plays a huge part in this story. The mother is obsessed with having more and more money. She lives the life of a woman with money, never allowing anyone to see past the family’s small income. The mother was very selfish, having no love for anyone but herself. Her whole idea of money made her so selfish and hard, that she lost her husbands love, and there was no love between her children, either. Whispers started to wander through the house.
