Lady Chatterley's Lover
by Lawrence
About This Novel
From controversial erotic novels to modern literary classics! This book is one of the most controversial works in the history of British fiction and was banned for more than 30 years. In the UK in 1960, the publisher Penguin was even sued, triggering the Penguin Trial that shocked the publishing industry, and the great writers E. M. Forster and Richard Hoggart also testified in court. After the court ruled that the book was "not guilty", it was widely published in the UK. It has since topped the bestseller list and continues to be sold today. This book tells the story of Tangni who married the aristocratic landowner Chatterley, but soon he was injured in the war and paralyzed from the waist down for life. In their hometown, although their lives were carefree, they were lifeless. The gamekeeper at the manor rekindled Tangni's love and desire for life. She often secretly came to his cabin for trysts and enjoyed a primitive and passionate sex life. Tangni is pregnant and goes to Venice on vacation to hide her pregnancy from others. At this time, the hunter's undivorced wife suddenly returned, exposing their affair. The huge social gap forced Tangni to marry someone else first in order to give birth to a child, leaving the hunter to wait silently for the birth of her child.

The story takes place after the end of World War I. Cliff returned to the manor, paralyzed due to combat injuries, and neglected his wife Connie. She had to endure a sexless married life. In spring, she met Mellors, the garden caretaker employed by the manor, in the forest. She felt the sexual temptation from his strong body, so she threw herself into the fire regardless of class and moral taboos, and experienced the taste of love again. Connie has always wanted a child, and with Cliff's acquiescence, she has Mellors' child. While Connie and her sister Hilda were on vacation in the south of France, Mellors' first wife returned. In the end, the lovers decided to divorce their respective spouses and start a new life together.
book review
The heroine and the gardener are very lucky to meet their true love. I admire their courage to fight against the entire social system for their ideals! I agree with the author's point of view, life and money are two different things. You can live happily without money, but having money will definitely lead to a satisfactory life!
Lady Chatterley's Lover - Book Review
"If we are to be brave enough to face ourselves, we must break free from the confinement of worldly habits and bravely face our own sexuality; if we truly love those we love, we must be able to appreciate each other's bodies and vitality."
The inner world of the characters is deeply portrayed. In that industrial society where money is paramount, your social status is determined from the moment you are born. How unfair is this to the social groups living at the bottom. When someone wants to resist this system, they are suppressed by the entire upper class. Lady Chatterley's naked dance in the rain and the passionate scene with the gardener in the rain are symbols of people breaking through their constraints and yearning for freedom. The keeper's last letter to Lady Chatterley is worth reading carefully. From this letter, we will find that the gardener is thoughtful and has the courage and will to break tradition. He said: Living and spending money are not the same thing. Learning how to live is more meaningful than learning how to make and spend money. At the same time, that letter also expressed his pure love for Lady Chatterley. In his heart, their love was sacred and could not be profaned, so he kept his chastity for her. This was the gardener's attitude towards love. Lady Chatterley yearns for freedom and beautiful love, so she would rather abandon the life of the upper class and bravely pursue the life she wants. Although I don't know what will happen to the gardener and Lady Chatterley in the end, I see hope and the dawn of the future in the letter in the last chapter!
Is it suitable for high school students?
My perspective as a college student born in 1998
I just finished reading it for the first time, and I have to say that I was a little attracted by the sexual content in it. As I read on slowly, I found that the sex in it is so romantic. I admit that I fell in love with reading. I changed from an Internet-addicted teenager. Before, I spent every day playing games in the dormitory. Now I have learned to read quietly for a while. I like this author and this book. Maybe this will change my life.
I have read Lady Chatterley and Her Lover three times, and I feel different every time I read it. The first time I thought she was sad, the second time I thought she was brave, and the last time I thought she was full of brilliance. But most women love through sex. I don't agree that this is love! She was able to give up a life of material superiority because she had enough capital to go to the gardener unscrupulously. If Tangni had nothing, how could she be so lonely?
I was shocked by Tangni's brave spirit for love and freedom. In modern society, can we really take this step bravely if we don't have the financial ability? Are we not brave enough or is the reality more cruel?
I can't see the one behind 37, how can I buy it? Asking for your opinions.
Well worth a look!
