A CRITIQUE OF A PASSAGE OF
WOMEN IN LOVE
BY
D.H. LAWRENCE
It is well-nigh impossible to read a novel and not think of the author, or to think of the author and not recall the book. ... There was much suffering and sadness in the life of D. H. Lawrence. Bereft of his adored mother, unhappy in his relationships with women, racked with a malady which would eventually conquer him, ostracised by society and branded as a spy, hounded and pilloried for his writings, doomed to wander over the face of the world for the rest of his life, I find in this passage a sensitivity, a subtlety forged on the anvil of adversity and hammered into shape by the will of one who might have considered himself as another Jeremiah. ... To Lawrence he is all that epitomises cruelty; cruelty in nature, cruelty in society. As mentioned before Lawrence had a sensitivity, and this can be seen no better than in this passage. ... Lawrence has made her the safety valve of or own emotions
"Let her go, you fool, you fool. ... Lawrence delightfully describes him as a crab in a snails shell. ...
Although Lawrence might be accused of being turgid in his turbulent human relationships, his mastery and creativity of the English language cannot be gainsaid in this passage. ... But if it were possible Lawrence surpasses himself when describing the terror-stricken mare. ...
Lawrence called this book WOMEN IN LOVE.
