"Lady Chatterley's Lover"

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the controversial book "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D.H. Lawrence which is full of social, political and cultural implications. It looks at how, by focusing on the forbidden relationship between Lady Connie Chatterley and Oliver Mellors, Lawrence reveals a great deal about the structure and politics of post-war society. It discusses how although the main theme of the book is love, the unproductiveness, inhumanity and ugliness of life in a local mining community play a large role and how the political elements of the book are clearly demonstrated by Lady Chatterley's life in a society devoted to making money.

From the Paper:

"The Chatterleys' marriage was main theme in the story, as society unfairly viewed its failure as the fault of Lady Chatterley, who had a difficult time maintaining a relationship with a husband who was half paralyzed and half crazy. She looks to Mellors to make her feel alive again. However, the prosecution fails to realize that the couple is building a strong relationship that has a good chance of leading to a successful marriage. They can only point finders and accuse the couple of immorality."
