The Celebration of Body in D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover

Abstract

D. H., Lawrence’s central theme in most of his works is sex. From his early writing to the last novel. His Lady Chatterley’s Lover which became a scandal in English literature. His idea was not to write a pornographic, vulgar and obscene literary text but to highlight the glory of essentially animalistic and carnal impulses in human beings. He created a new doctrine of sex, advocating the supremacy of the body’s life over the mind, actually based on the assertion that complete fulfillment in sexual relations is the key to solve the problems of human relationships paradoxically though, the man who became a “priest” of sex. It broke an epoch marked by strong moral restrictions. But the early he favoured morality, the puritan of who stressed a euphemistic style became, in his last period, an anti-puritan. His insistence on the subject of sex and on the necessity for purifying, the sexual acts lead. This researcher to the conclusion that he was a strong supporter of the world of body than the world of mind; in his own terms it was a case of sex in the head.
