The Rocking-Horse Winner Dynamic

The story “ The Rocking-Horse Winner” is written in third person and the story itself is very omniscient. This narrative technique is used effectively for a story that walks the line between social realism and the supernatural. I think Paul is dynamic because he changes but yet only in money wise. I also think that he is kind of static, because other than that he just gets rich and that is the only thing that changes because he always believed in himself. Paul is a round character he changes after his mom tells him they need money. Throughout the story we can see the Oedipus complex arise between Paul and his mother. Paul’s strong desire to appease his mother leads to him financially usurping his father as the money-provider of the household.
