Lady Chatterley’s Lover

Lady Chatterley’s lover is one of them. This book aroused so many debates when it was published first. Because it contains the details of description for the sex. Before Lawrence passed away, he complained that his works would not be understood in 300 years. But ever since the 1960s of the last century, his books had become popular among the readers.In this book, Chatterley and Connie are the main characters. They are husband and wife, but actually, they represent two different classes. Chatterley is cold and not enthusiastic, and he symbolizes a class that is   lacking of vitality and near to death. However,Connie’s true lover in this book is very different in personality compared with Chatterley. He enjoys the nature and has a pleasant life. Connie is a healthy woman and she falls in love with Mellors. Her personality is very complicated. On one hand, she has been influenced by the society. On the other hand, she also enjoys the nature. The rules of the modern society restrain her love for the nature. She looked after her husband and discussed her husband’s writing. She had a very dull life, and that is her whole life. The best way to get rid of this is to go back to nature. Nature is pure and theonly way to get happiness is to get rid of the sophistication brought by modern society.

This book’s main focus is for the men. In modern society, men became useless to a certain extent. Since in that time, men’s social status is higher than women, so men could represent the society in a certain way. The description is not only about the men, it is more about the industrial society. Lawrence depicted sex deeply in this book, but besides the description, it is more about the reflection for history, religion and economy. This book was banned initially because of its description for sex, but finally this book was recognized. This book has a deep influence for contemporary British literature and even the modern literature so it was considered to be one of the classical books in the history.

Beautiful sentences

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataaclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work; there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.

我们根本就生活在一个悲剧的时代，因此我们不愿惊惶。大灾难已经来临，我们处于废墟之中，我们开始建立一些新的小小的栖息地，怀抱一些新的微小的希望。这是一种颇为艰难的工作。现在没有一条通向未来的康庄大道，但是我们却迂回前进，或攀援障碍而过。不管天翻地覆，我们都得生活。
