"The Horse-Dealer's Daughter"

Paper Summary:

The writer demonstrates how the D.H. Lawrence, in his work "The Horse-Dealer's Daughter", created stark visual effects which propel the story along and convey the sadness that results from the Horse Dealer's fall into debt. The paper focuses on the characters of Joe and Mabel and highlights how there is no joy or sense of finality in any of Lawrence's characters.

From the Paper:

"There is a directness to this story and the people in it. One does not have to re-read and wonder "what do they mean by that?" or "what is that a symbolism for?" In a sense, the author has created visual effects which propel the story along. Somewhat like a movie or a TV show, we can "see" the surroundings and get a good idea of who the characters are, what they look like and how they talk to one another. Lawrence describes Joe's first words as being said with "foolish flippancy" (Lawrence 1). But, we get a far better image when "he turned aside, worked a grain of tobacco on the tip of his tongue, and spat it out" (1). We have been told, by Lawrence, that we are in the country and not among so-called "gentlefolk. Lords and Ladies do not spit."
