Abstract
Lady Chatterley's Lover was published in 1928. As his last novel in his lifetime, Lawrence praises highly of human sex with evangelical zeal in this work, and gives much delicate and subtle description about the sexual experience, which indicates his deep consideration of historical, political, religious, economic and social problems at that time. Since its inception, the work has aroused critics’ fierce discussions. Someone holds that Lawrence indicates explicit male chauvinism in the work. Someone gives praise of him for his successful expression of gender relationship. Someone views it from the perspective of ecofeminism. There are also some people who have analyzed it by view of marriage or gender perspective.
This thesis will have an analysis of the ideal female image in new era and equal relations between men and women in Lawrence’s mind from the perspective of feminism and will explore the process of Lady Chatterley’s individual regeneration and the causes as well. This kind of multi-angle perspective will finally help us to have a better understanding of the characterization and the novel’s theme. The thesis consists of five parts. The first part gives a brief introduction to the author and The Lady Chatterley’s Lover as well as the critical response of the novel. The second part states the doomed fate of the main characters in the novel. The third part illustrates the inevitable breaking up of Connie-Clifford relation as well as its reasons. The forth part gives an account of Connie’s individual regeneration. The final part summarizes the previous analysis and generally come to the conclusion that Lawrence is an allegiant supporter of feminism.
Key words: regeneration, gender perspective, gender relationship, feminism
