RELATIONS OF DOMINANCE AND EQUALITY IN D. H. LAWRENCE

CHAPTER I
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
When I first read Lawrence, four years ago, I could not
understand Why he fascinated me so much.
However, now, I can
clearly see the reason for it.
Lawrence always deals with
people, man and woman and the complexity of the relationships
they undergo.
This is, has always been, a fascinating, though
extremely difficult, theme.
Human beings are always going
through experiences in which they may or may not succeed.
They
are always 'preaching' theories that do not exactly match
their practice.
They are always looking for 'balance' in a
relation (no matter whether it is between man and woman, man
and man or woman and woman) .
They are always seeking something
to fulfil their lives — through friendship, love, power, etc.
Whether they achieve it or not is another question.
This search
for a balance in conflict, and this experience of conflict even
in love is, I think, basic in Lawrence: as a man, an artist,
prophet and lover.
He tried throughout his life to make his
readers aware of their existence and this is why I am still
fascinated by his works.
