Politics of Body in Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover

Abstract

This research explores the politics of body in D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover where the disable female body is victimized through the able male body. Lady Chatterley is affected through torturous hypnotism of patriarchy; she is motivated to bear a child for securing Chatterley's lineage with the relation of second person. Her treatment in the hands of degenerative patriarchy prompts her to covertly rebel against patriarchy that creates the gulf between able and disable body for the subjugation of female body. Valorization of mind, loss of sensuality and mechanization of capitalistic society push her to the radical point. She is against the abstract relation of her husband. Clifford Chatterley is enveloped by discriminating attitudes to the disable body in spite of his disability to be a father of his own one.
