Women in Love (Penguin Classics)
by D. H. Lawrence
The Tortures Of Love And Relationships Stripped Raw
Two of D. H. Lawrence’s most renowned novels—now with new packages
and new introductions
Widely regarded as D. H. Lawrence’s greatest novel, Women in Love
continues where The Rainbow left off, with the third generation of the
Brangwens. Focusing on Ursula Brangwen and her sister Gudrun’s
relationships—the former with a school inspector and the latter with an
industrialist and then a sculptor—Women in Love is a powerful, sexually
explicit depiction of the destructiveness of human relations.
Personal Review: Women in Love (Penguin Classics) by D. H.
Lawrence
D.H. Lawrence is not for the faint hearted, or anyone with a short attention
span. Women in Love would perhaps be better title Women and Men in
Love, as Gerald and Birkin play equally important roles as Gudren and
Ursula.
Those looking for mere titillation will be sorely disappointed, however, as
the sexual charged moments are primarily portrayed through internal
thoughts and emotions - indeed, by today's standards this would be a
PG-13 at the most, although the inferences are certainly more adult than
that.
The exploration of relationships portrayed here shows the beginning of
women's liberation, as well as a philosophy accepting of non-heterosexual
love - although again these are through thoughts and emotions, and
occassionally conversations, with nothing more blatant than a wrestling
scene actually happening.

In the end this seemed to be more about failing to achieve harmonious
relations than succeeding at it - though in the end one couple remains and
one is apart, I am not sure but that it could have been as easily reversed
as to which was which.
