Most Meaningful and Lovely of Lawrence's Novels
As with any good novel there are several levels on which this book may be read. Taken factually, here a woman forsakes her incapacitated husband and takes the gamekeeper of their estate as her lover. Pretty ugly scenario! How can such a cruel action be justified? Lawrence is not afraid to take on this formidable challenge. To some people there is absolutely no...

Underlying Theme Is Incorrect
Lady Chatterley's Lover is a beautiful love story written by a great artist. It is by no means only a "sex" story, but portrays two individuals quite sensitively. If one sticks to the surface story, one will probably be quite taken with the beauty of it. But there is an underlying theme here which runs throughout all of Lawrence's work: the idea that the...

Most Meaningful and Lovely of Lawrence's Novels, 18. Februar 2000
As with any good novel there are several levels on which this book may be read. Taken factually, here a woman forsakes her incapacitated husband and takes the gamekeeper of their estate as her lover. Pretty ugly scenario! How can such a cruel action be justified? Lawrence is not afraid to take on this formidable challenge.To some people there is absolutely no issue here. When you marry, you commit yourself exclusively to your mate. Period! Case closed! But in real life, the matter is not so simple, unless you choose to make it so. On a deeper level a marriage inherently has hidden strings attached. It requires an honest effort by both partners to commit to the marriage, to sense their partner's needs, and to respond to them honestly and with sensitivity. If one mate is not perceptive, not doing their part, not "truly interested" in the marriage, then the marriage is in reality already dissolved, albeit not legally. This was the case with Lady Chatterly and her husband. It was also the case with the gamekeeper and his wife. Lawrence had to courage to recognize and to address this marriage problem, which probably is more common today than we would care to admit. The level at which I most liked this novel was in the descriptions of the actual physical encounters between the Lady and her lover. I have not counted them but there are perhaps four or five, all under different circumstances, all resulting in different degrees of satisfaction. Which suggests to me tht the sex act, in itself, is an almost neutral event. What gives it meaning are the attitudes and sensitivities that its participants bring to the occasion. At its deepest level sex is a reverent act, a sacrament. It is an uncompromising, fully trustful yielding of one's body to the care and love of another person. The result can be the most glorious feeling a human can experience. It can also be the most degrading feeling in the world. In this novel Lawrence follows the Lady and her lover through their progressing relationship. The novel can serve the reader as an inspiring view of the great beauty and joy that a loving relationship may eventually engender. Should teenagers read this book? In my opinion, no. Nevertheless, they will. But, like Shakespeare, they will not be able to absorb its wealth. I encourage them to save its reading for their later years when they are trying to bring new riches to their lives. Sort of like saving the icing on the cake, and eating it last. I think Lawrence would like that.

A literary classic of the 20th century, 28. April 2005
Constance Chatterley, a beautiful and passionate woman, is deeply unhappy in her marriage to Sir Clifford Chatterley who became an invalid after having been injured in the First World War. His physical condition is mirrored in Constance's emotional paralysis. When she meets the gamekeeper Mellors, she finds refuge in his arms and feels regenerated. Together they shield themselves from the chaos of the outer world and move to the sanctum of the inner world of fulfilment.
The character of Constance is an interesting one because there is a certain complexity in her: she is both in touch with nature, yet educated; sensitive, yet wise; female in her sensitivity, yet almost male in her strength and attitude. She is a woman with a social position who is drawn to an outsider of a lower class. The structure of the novel is also interesting because it shows three stages in Constance's relationship with her husband and Mellors. In the first phase, she denies her husband, responding to a failed marriage, she finds refuge with Mellors. Then begins the second stage when Constance regenerates in the peaceful world of her lover's hut. Finally in the third stage, she escapes the world of Wragby Hall as she leaves for a holiday to Venice. There she takes the resolution never to return to Clifford's world. This resolution is taken all the more easily by Constance because being away from Wragby Hall she can reconsider her commitment to Mellors while their relationship is gradually exposed as a scandal which really prevents her from returning to her husband. Then the novel's central struggle shifts from that between a Lady and a gamekeeper to that between Constance's and Mellor's commitment to each other and the forces hostile to their relationship.
Constance's transformations occur in an set of tensions and an artistic dualism: tenderness against apathy, nature against culture, wood against stone, flesh against intellect, frankness against manipulation or fertility against sterility. These tensions strongly mark the first phase of the novel where Wragby Hall symbolises sterility and spiritual and emotional apathy, will and intellectual control; the hut symbolises the free play of the instinct and sensual pleasure, the haven of tenderness. The two worlds cannot interact: Clifford intrudes into nature with his mechanical wheelchair as much as Mellors is an intruder and outsider inside Wragby Hall. Perhaps the most striking opposition is that between silence and talk. As Constance and Mellors retreat into the sheltered world of the hut, the author insists on the stillness and the silence of the place, focuses on the internal and emotional feelings since both characters are fugitives from "the outer world of chaos." That's why enclosures are so present in the novel: the hut, the clearing, the cottage, an enclosed yard, a bedroom, as many shelters from psychological suffering. Mellors is "afraid of society" whereas Constance recoils from the "insanity of the whole civilised species." They both linger in pure silence, even anonymity since they hardly ever call each other by name.
D.H. Lawrence's critics have deplored the numerous love making scenes in which Constance and Mellors induldge and which are described in a surprisingly open language, considering the epoch in which the novel was published. But these scenes show how Constance is "reborn", how sex is the act that most completely unites a man and a woman and its power of renewal is attuned to day, season or year - it is in this novel the most regenerative experience possible. There is indeed strong hope that John Thomas will be reunited with lady Jane in the future! In this sense, "Lady Chatterley's Lover" ranks among the 20th century most extraordinary achievements.

A book to be read and re-read, 23. Dezember 1998
One can learn so much from Lawrence's wonderful sense of feminine intuition about people, love, circumstance, politics, environment and the choices humans make, that one read of this book is simply not enough. Personally, I have read this book eight or nine times (usually once a year)and never tire of Lawrence's insight into human nature and why we do the things we do. Don't let the title fool you. This book is much less about sex than it is about us taking charge of our own destiny and not letting the machinery of life bog us down. If you are at a crossroads in your life, you must read this book. If not, you will still enjoy this novel greatly. It is highly recommended. If I could, I would give it ten stars!

A beautiful tale., 19. Mai 2000
Many people dismiss this book as nothing but pervertedness and filthiness. They fail to see the beauty of this tale. This book deserves literary merit, for it's a brave masterpiece. Not, as one prosecutor put it, "dirt for dirt's sake."This book should not be seen as a piece of work advertising pornography, but rather as a mere attack against industrialization. Perhaps Lawrence, through the tale of Lady Chatterley and her lover, was trying to bring a message across about industry (Clifford Chatterley's coal mine) and the working class (significantly the gamekeeper, Mellors). But, of course, we can't overlook the endless romance between Lady Chatterley and her lover, for it is what this story is about. The fact that it contains that little four-lettered Anglo-Saxon word that begins with an "F" is more reason why this book deserves literary merit, for it is one of the first and foremost important works of literature to contain it. Now, of course, it is hard to find a book, a movie, or a song without that famous word. If D. H. Lawrence should be remembered a thousand years from now, it should be for writing this story. He was a very courageous, very daring person to have written it. This taboo of a story is one that will stay in the reader's mind forever. (Note: If you are to read this book, I'd recommend the unexpurgated version.)

Exquisite, 3. April 1999
Von Ein Kunde
This is a beautiful novel that is fragile yet steel-strong. The emotions of its characters are extremely well-developed, for e.g. Connie's dogged loyalty towards Clifford in the beginning turns slowly into doubt, and finally into contempt. This is a novel about the path to freedom, not only sexual freedom, but freedom from pressure, from rules, from the chains of life and society. Although there are only 3 main characters: Connie, Clifford and Mellors, this book does not bore me. Some authors may kill the novel when handling so delicate a subject, but Laurence not only allows the emotions of his characters to live, but also gives them room for expression. Connie's sexual desire is placed in the context of an England that is slowly being brutalised by industrialism, and the author expresses his horror against this world we had created through the eyes of Connie. As Connie is slowly being suffocated by her husband, I feel, surprisingly, not hate for Clifford, but a strange pity. This book sparks neither love nor hate for its characters, but the reader is able to weigh them at their true value. In this way, the novel itself is never overpowered by the strength of its characters. The author allows us to find our own freedom while Connie seeks hers. This book improves with a second reading. At first the characters seem rather detached, but later they fitted out wonderfully. The language, of course, is beautiful. Everyone is in their own way suffocated by something, and that is why as a teenage reader I can relate myself to Lady Chatterley.

Underlying Theme Is Incorrect, 6. Juni 2000
Lady Chatterley's Lover is a beautiful love story written by a great artist. It is by no means only a "sex" story, but portrays two individuals quite sensitively. If one sticks to the surface story, one will probably be quite taken with the beauty of it. But there is an underlying theme here which runs throughout all of Lawrence's work: the idea that the world is a dirty, unpleasant place and that people are always small, disagreeable and nasty and that the solutions to all of life's most pressing problems is orgasm. This is rather silly, to say the least. Certain portions of life can be ugly, but the extent to which Lawrence does so in this novel is really stretching it a bit. It seems like a set-up to me: after showing only the negative portion of life and convincing the reader that this is reality as "it really is", he springs his stock solution: sex. This seems as absurd to me as trying to grab a handful of air; imagination is at the root of the sexual appetite in humans and this he leaves rather untouched. Intellectualism is also disavowed in prference to a sort of bodily exaltation which leaves one at the mercy of one's physical being without recourse to higher faculties (inlcuding those of control and discipline). It is also interesting to note that in his philosophical position, Lawrence is much closer to Sartre than Camus, who although still a pessimist, finds a great deal of exuberance in the physical world of nature that Lawrence and Sartre tend to reject as ugly and forbidding. The philosophical underpinnings sort of ruin the novel for me, although it may not be noticeable until the second or third read.

Fast, easy and absolutely deep, 27. September 2009
Kinder-Rezension
Apart from the wonderful - and by modern standards not at all outrageous - romantic/erotic aspect, this novel convinced me most with it's accurate and touching insight in it's protagonists minds and morals as well as into the social and political landscape of England post WW1.
A fast, easy and absolutely deep read.

Honest and beautiful, 18. Juni 2000
I didn't find this novel perverted at all. I think the underlying depiction of human sexuality was just but eye-opening honest and fundamentally beautiful, as opossed to so many hypocritical, really perverted, or really prejudiced points of view about sexuality that populate our cultures and societies. I really wish I had read this book when I was 15. In my opinion very few writers can be as honest, frank, and genuine about sexuality as Lawrence is. This is the first of Lawrence's books I read, and am planning to read many of his books now.

Effortless work by a Great Writer, 23. Mai 2000
If you want a good Lawrence book, read Sons and Lovers or Women in Love instead. Lady Chatterly, although written later, is much more immature in terms of style than Lawrence's first book, sons and lovers. The popularity probally results from the scandal that surrounded the book and not the writing or plot. The book only has real importance in a sociological reading, showing the social mores of the period it was written in.

Societial Repression, 24. Januar 2000
Von Ein Kunde
Lady Chatterley's Lover was an excellent book. Lawrence depicts many aspects of mankind that were, at the time, way down on the "d.l." Constance found herself in a marriage with a cripled man incapable of fulfilling any of her needs, intellectual and sexual. She was once inthralled by his hopelessly romantic philosophies of life, but grew to find them shallow and superficial. Her pity for Clifford was what held the two together for so long, but Constance, over time, tired of playing house wife, and ventured to find her contentment elsewhere. She didn't have to travel far. Constance found her happiness on her very own property through her manservant, thus began the scandalous affair the world has been talking about ever since.
