Lady Chatterley's Lover

In Lady Chatterley’s Lover, a strong, powerful female protagonist takes the lead against the repressed mental state (that’s a first). “A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it” (Lawrence 73). And Lawrence evokes powerful messages, or lessons. “Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass” (Lawrence 271). In other words, adhering to the mechanized mental state will stain the mind from realness and closeness and love. He makes this message, and the image of a postwar mechanized mental state as a product of the Industrial Age, very clear throughout the entirety of the text. Workers are dehumanized…

Lady Chatterley's Lover is a novel by D. H. Lawrence, first published privately in 1928 in Italy, and in 1929 in France and Australia (Geoffrey Robertson, 2010).

An edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover was published in Britain in 1932 by Martin Secker; reviewing it in The Observer, Gerald…

Lady Chatterley’s Lover is D.H Lawrence's most debatable works. This novel was banned in the USA for more than 30 years because of its sexual scenes and use of profane four-letter words. The book went through many printings because of interest in its sexual content. It was published privately in Florence, in 1928. After being banned for many years, it is allowed again to be published. In general, we can find it is a book about human nature. The heroine, Connie, usually we call it Lady…

Reform in Ideals: Sensuality and Sexuality Two books, Lady Chatterley’s Lover and The Well of Loneliness, stood as prominent examples of the 1920s. This was a time of change and radical ideas, particularly through sensuality and sexuality. Although the topic was still treated rather modestly, at least in English literature, two novelists, D.H. Lawrence and Radclyffe Hall, challenged constructs to write novels with ideas, themes, and morals revolved around sex and sexuality. In this respect,…

Within society, both past and present, we can discern a myriad of façades which present a deceptive outer appearance. William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, Willy Russell’s Educating Rita and D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover are works of literature which diversely consider a vast array of characters and situations which demonstrate such façades within society. These façades may be actively used by a character or be surrounding an abstract concept or institution, such as wealth or…

Looking through the lens of different literary theories would disclose information about how literature is examined by different readers.

From the Mixed- Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler Written by Elaine Lobl (E.L.) Konigsberg, From the Mixed- Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler has always been my favorite book despite being published in 1967. In 1968, it had become the first book to ever to be awarded both the Newbery Medal and the Newberry Honor within the same year (Barnes & Noble). This iconic book was written in a sophisticated manner due to its English literature essence. The two main characters, Claudia and Jamie,…

even more frizzy. She looked over shoulder, to see a group of people gathering around a large bonfire. She skipped over, her fingers wrapped around her opposing wrist as she watched people let out hollers as some girl winced, her wrist band falling into the flames making them roar even higher into the dark sky. Summer watched as they popped wristband after wristband off. She picked at her lips with her fingers, anxiety crawling up her throat, hoping they didn't force her to remove hers. "I'd…

The ways in which repetition highlights the differences between the speaker and the Lady particularly construct this lack. The speaker’s main object of comparison throughout the poem is the goddess, whose “radiant and shameless” (H.D. III, 13) beauty coupled with the Victorian connotation of “Lady” (III, 1) aligns her with Virginia Woolf’s concept of “The Angel in the House.” (Woolf 150) H.D.’s Lady possesses the ideal and almost inhuman grace of Woolf’s Angel, who haunts the professional women…
