The themes that Lawrence explores in his creations are the relationships between people and society, people and nature, people and people, and men and women. However, the relationship between men and women is the one that he spends the most time on. In describing the relationship between men and women, In terms of relationships, Lawrence breaks through the forbidden area and boldly touches on "sex", a topic that everyone has and needs, but which makes people talk about sex in a perverted way. In his novels, from his debut novel "The White Peacock" to "Sons and Lovers", "The Rainbow", "Women in Love", and "Lady Chatterley's Lover", large paragraphs appear many times. The description of sex scenes, whether Lawrence is writing about human sex or animal desire, is all related to his attempt to find a way to redeem mankind at the bottom of life. For example, in "Lady Chatterley's Lover", Lawrence He spares no effort in pen and ink and describes sex vividly, "aiming to show the beauty and importance of sex". It is a eulogy and praise for love, and thus makes a powerful statement on the Western industrial civilization that imprisons love, suppresses love, distorts love, and alienates love. Criticism and denunciation. [3]?
He regards sex as an experience with a mystical color, although the theme of sex in his works has gone through changes and development. On the eve of World War I, he viewed the war as a battle of love and hate. Therefore, he focused on this theme in his works such as "Love in the Haystack" and "Sons and Lovers" written in 1912, as well as the two novels "The Rainbow" and "Women in Love" he wrote in 1913. All have meanings. After this war, he increasingly regarded "male tenderness" as the source of love. He developed the theme poetically and powerfully in such works as The Dead Man, The Feathered Serpent, and Lady Chatterley's Lover.
A thread that runs through all his works is class consciousness. Characteristics: The union of a lower-class man and an upper-class woman. Upper-class men are usually sluggish and lack the strength of their human instincts. In Lawrence's writing, class differences show dramatic and powerful effects in novels such as "Sons and Lovers", "The Rainbow", "The Plumed Serpent" and "Lady Chatterley's Lover". The brush strokes further enhance the contrast between light and darkness in "Love in the Haystack".
Lawrence's world travels and his fierce hatred of industrialism made early culture more attractive to him. In "Saint Maur" and "The Feathered Serpent", he saw from the Indians of New Mexico and Mexico that their dark and mysterious knowledge was closer to the origin and essence of life than the educated minds of Europeans. . He was passionate about the themes of his work that were deepened by mysticism. This is expressed in other ways as well. "Brotherhood" - a compatibility between two men that is deeper than ordinary friendship, but not homosexual - has always attracted his imagination, especially in "Women in Love" and "Feathers". Snake" is shown. In "Love in the Haystack", the lack of "brotherhood" between two brothers is one of the reasons for the conflict, and the resolution of this conflict depends on the happy ending of a thematic battle designed by Lawrence . This is a battle full of love and hate between men and women. Another contradictory theme is the embodiment of Lawrence's "leadership dream": one man will be in a dominant position, while the other will bow to him as a disciple. Thematic features of "Aaron's Stick" (1992) and "Kangaroo" are exactly this. "The Feathered Serpent" (1926) is mixed with the profile of "brotherhood".
