内容記述 | Adultery is one of the major themes of literature. There are three famous novels which have the theme of adultery in the nineteenth century: Madame Bovary by Flaubert, Anna Karenina by Tolstoy and The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and among the most famous liaison novels written in the twentieth century is Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence. But Lady Chatterley's Lover has five major different points from the above three novels. (1) In Lady Chatterley's Lover the protagonists Mellors and Connie don't belong to the same class, that is, Mellors belongs to the lower class and Connie belongs to the upper class. But in the above three novels, the heroes and heroines all belong to more or less the same class.(2) In Lady Chatterley's Lover the chief protagonist is a man, but in the other three novels the protagonists are women. (3) In Lady Chatterley's Lover both protagonists survive, but in the other three novels either the hero or the heroine dies in the end. (4) Lady Chatterley's Lover describes sexual intercourse directly which the other three novels do not do. (5) Lady Chatterley's Lover describes both protagonists' discord and growth which the other three novels do not do. The reason why Lady Chatterley's Lover presents such a new viewpoint is because the author Lawrence doesn't blame the protagonists' adulterous love but rather praises it. Lawrence didn't write this adulterous novel just as a love story, but as a novel critical of our modern mechanized civilization. The novel has the theme of saving mankind from our modern tragedy, that is, the theme of how to live a truly a organic life. In other words it can be said that the novel deals with social problems. What are the social problems of the modern world which the protagonists are struggling against? What is the tragedy of this age? Lady Chatterley's Lover begins with the sentences "Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins ..... We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen." (Lady Chatterley's Lover, p.5.) These opening sentences pronounce Lawrence's firm resolution to survive and live. The setting of Lady Chatterley's Lover is the time just after the First World War. Though Lawrence didn't participate in it, he experienced it and suffered from it. He declared himself against the war because in war human beings are treated like a toothed wheel in a machine. Lawrence hated the world dictated only by logic which was like a machine. In the modern age, logic dominates our life. The logical world is that of the mind only. Lawrence thought that if the mind controlled our life too much, human beings would act from hate. And this is what has happened in our age. In Lady Chatterley's Lover, the narrator says, "Each man a machine-part, and the driving power of the machine, hate: hate of the bourgeois!" (Lady Chatterley's Lover, p.38.) Human beings have no true connection between each other now. Lawrence thought it most important to return to the organic life, which was to cherish our flesh and blood, and insisted that we should live according to spontaneity and intuition more. In short he wanted the balance between the mind and the body in our life, which means that he advocated dualism. In Lady Chatterley's Lover there appears a person who belongs to the ruling class. His name is Sir Clifford Chatterley, Connie's husband. He becomes sexually impotent because he was injured in the lower half of his body during the First World War. Clifford lives surrounded by the world of machinery, which Lawrence depicts as "the white world," meaning the world of logic, mind and the words of Christianity. Young Connie suffers in a non-organic life without true sexual intercourse. She is vulnerable, sensitive and tender like the many beautiful flowers and trees growing in the forest of Rugby. But Mellors, who is the gamekeeper in the Rugby's forest, rescues Connie from her non-human life. He is depicted as "a dark man," who criticizes the established moral principles and tries to create a new world where there is a true connection between man and woman, man and man, ruling class and laboring class. Mellors comes from the lower class and is an employee of Clifford. Connie being attracted by Mellors' tenderness to her femininity, which other men don't show, decides at the end of the novel to leave the Rugby Hall, after which the reader expects there will be the hope of the protagonists' marriage in the near future. Lady Chatterley's Lover doesn't avoid realistic problems and it isn't just an allegorical novel as is often said. The Rugby forest is not a paradise but is rather a realistic place, I think. Mellors uses dialects and acts cruelly to kill a cat which tries to steal game in the forest. These are realistic aspects in the novel. Besides, from the forest the fire of ugly collieries can be seen and the sulphurous smell is carried into the forest on the wind. This is another realistic point in the forest. As I mentioned above, by depicting the protagonists' survival, Lawrence criticizes the modern machine world,and the tender sexual love saves it from tragedy. Therefore Lady Chatterley's Lover is a novel which has the theme of struggling against the modern evil. And in this point the novel is different from the other novels with an adulterous theme. | |||||
