Class Struggle in Lady Chatterley's Lover

A detailed Summary of Class Struggle in Lady Chatterley's Lover

It is impossible to have an understanding of any of the characteristics of class struggle being portrayed in ˜Lady Chatterley's Lover". The book is quite old and the period of happening in the book is that of the First World War. The book was written by David Herbert Lawrence, an author who did not have a very high reputation as a classic writer in English. His intention was only to make money by way using his writing skills. Considering the period in which this book was written, he had probably gone a little too far from the limits which were prevalent in those days and the book was banned from sale in many countries as it was being considered to be obscene. In some countries, the ban even progressed to exist till the period of the 1960s. The reason was due to the prevalence of obscenity in the book and that was the primary reason to make the book extremely famous.

People were not permitted to see or read the book, and this was especially restricted for young persons who were greatly attracted to the book. This gave them a lot of encouragement for breaking the discipline and going against the ban and somehow getting a chance to read and understand as to what is so particular about the book. This part of trying to see and read

something that you are not permitted led to the great popularity of this book. The book had several quotes like which were given below which greatly attracted the attention of youngsters to read the book after getting to know from others that it had elements which were far ahead of their times. "Her breasts were rather small, and dropping pear-shaped. But they were unripe, a little bitter, without meaning hanging there. And her belly had lost the fresh, round gleam it had had when she was young, in the days of her German boy, who really loved her physically." (Lady Chatterley's Lover by David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930): Chapter 7)

There was a lot of presumed innocence in the 1950s in America and this was rediscovered only in the 1990s by two young Americans. This leads to a situation today where the young ones feel that the sex described in Lady Chatterley's Lover is even better than an act of sex! This is probably leading people to appreciate the benefits of openness which was developed even later aE" in the '60s, and it was at that time that the ban on Lady Chatterley's Lover was withdrawn. The features most important in the movie are the situation where the son is applying gray rouge to her mother's cheeks, and the same rouge is being removed from the cheek by the servant so that she can look like all others. This is also followed by the son removing the tears from her mother. These are all emotional scenes and do not hurt anyone. (The Way We Weren't)

Let us remember that all authors plan their books before they start writing it, and writing of books does not go on with the advent of God. This makes it clear that the author had planned the book to be about the physical demand of women when their husbands became disabled. This is clear in the introduction of the lady when the author says "She married Clifford Chatterley in 1917, when he was on home for leave. They had a month's honeymoon. Then he went back to Flanders; to be shipped over to England six months later more or less in bits." (Lady Chatterley's Lover by David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930): Chapter 1)

Does this description show that the lady was satisfied? It shows that the lady was in the same state as ladies were supposed to be from time immemorial till the other day. England has always been known to be a conservative society and at that time she was still the ruler of the world. The world has changed since and the subject of sex has become much more open and widely discussed and we are reading about it as also we are seeing it in the movies, including Lady Chatterley's Lover. The quality of the novel is not existent in the subject that it deals with, but the quality of language that it uses. The story takes us directly into a world which is well known to us, and which is appreciated by some. Lawrence considers the lady like all other women of her time, as a sexual tool for the purpose of bringing about the satisfaction of men. She is not an independent person who has her elements of her own likes and dislikes. All sexual relationship thus ends in the novel as a benefit for the gamekeeper and not for the lady. (Lady Chatterley's Lover) This is also clearly not any indication of any class struggle as the "oppressed" class only seems to be attaining the benefits of the relationship.
