Abstract

The present paper is an attempt to analyze and explore the ideology of D. H. Lawrence on “The Five Senses” of human body. In the beginning, Lawrence is opposed the theory of science related to human body. Through practical approach he has disproved this theory. “The Five Senses” is an essay written by D. H. Lawrence in his book Fantasia of the Unconscious. He has proved that the five senses of the human body are sensual to unconscious. In this paper I have tried to highlight the psychological, biological and metaphysical concept of Lawrence’s idea of unconscious. This paper also analyses different faculties to combine to adjudge the state of consciousness and unconsciousness. It is important to mention here that I haven’t quoted any critics’ view or opinion about “The Five Senses” theory of D H Lawrence. I have analyzed the topic and inferred what I understood in the “The Five Senses” from the book Fantasia of the Unconscious.

Keywords: Fantasia Of The Unconscious, D. H. Lawrence, consciousness, unconsciousness, psychological, sensual.

It is the human psychology that negative or controversial aspects of a person is remembered for long. S/he is not revered for the good deeds and legacy s/he leaves behind him. So is the case with David Herbert Lawrence. Lawrence, the follower of Charles Dickens in many ways has been misunderstood and tagged as sexist. This is a dogma which can be driven away only by knowing the ideology of Lawrencian era. D. H. Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885 in coalmine town of Eastwood. He was the fourth child of Arthur John Lawrence and Lydia, née Beardsall, a former schoolmistress. His father was an illiterate miner. Lawrence spent his childhood in Eastwood and attended to the local school. Since his childhood, Lawrence had been a genius mind which helped him earn scholarship to study at the Edinburg University.

Here it is important to note that Lawrence began his life in an environment of freedom from any restricted tradition or institution. He was not guided upon by anyone but the “Inner Light”. His free ideology provided him an opportunity to plunge into the Fantasy and explore the psychology of life. This is why Lawrence always used ‘L’ for life. His quest for life encouraged him to come up with books such as Fantasia of the Unconscious, Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious, Studies in Classic American Literature etc. He wrote his first novel The White Peacock at the age of twenty-four. Lawrence shared his philosophy of relationship and the intricate problems he encountered during his life in his poetry. He got in - depth excellence in composing poetry. This excellence reached to such an extent that he started believing that ‘Civilization had corrupted the natural behaviour of human being’. According to Lawrence ‘Physical fulfilment was the clue to recovery of human dignity and happiness’.
