Dynamics of Human Relationships in the Novels of D.H. Lawrence:
A Study of Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow and Women in Love

Dheifallah Ibrahim Shlash Mohammad

David Herbert Lawrence and the Theme of Balance between Opposites

David Herbert Lawrence is one of the most versatile and leading figures in twentieth century literature. He was not only a great novelist but an accomplished poet, short story writer, essayist, critics, and travel writer. Most of his writings, both fiction and nonfiction, deal with the theme of stable equilibrium or sense of balance between opposites.

Relationship between Male and Female

It should be noticed that Lawrence’s use of the term ‘equilibrium’ is not restricted to its literal sense only but it depends on an active, varying, shifting relationship between opposites, a constant struggle for power. One of the major, most encompassing relationships of opposites which Lawrence writes of is the relationship between man and woman, male and female. He has been called a misanthrope, a homosexual, and a feminist's nightmare, but Lawrence, who you either love or you hate, helped to change the topography of English literature forever.

A Three-fold Framework of Relationships

Lawrence’s philosophy of human relationships assimilates a comprehensive set of elements which can be generally traced to be rooted in three fold frame work. The first stage comprises mainly of the coming together of partners in response to the call of ‘Holy Spirit’ by which Lawrence indicates towards the power of ‘intuition’ within us. The second stage incorporates mutual understanding between the partners. It is in this very stage that the resolution of their conflicts establishes itself. The final stage involves the amalgamation of the spirit with the flesh and mind which consequently helps them to achieve the stage of harmony, bliss and fulfillment. These three stages are inter-related as they create space of one another and help in the growth of a sound human relationship.
