Should repressive "asexual" marriages be resisted?

A married woman and a married man, their respective marriages are still there, but their love has derailed.

Lawrence wrote this piece of sentiment that seems extremely immoral and even to be scolded by thousands of people today.

This is "Mrs. Chatterley's Lover".

Mrs. Chatterley's best-selling name is Connie. She is a noble lady who has tasted the forbidden fruit since she was 15 years old when she was in school.

Twenty-year-old Connie married Clifford, who was also a nobleman.

The good times didn't last long, and not long after getting married, Clifford was injured on the battlefield, paralyzed from the waist down, and lost his sexual ability.

However, Clifford inherited his father's estate and knighthood, and took Connie back to his hometown of Rugby House to live.

Out of sympathy for Clifford or the inability to break away from the upper life of the nobility, Connie did not divorce Baron Clifford.

But Connie is a young woman with normal needs. In the depressed Rugby House, Connie felt that she was withering day by day. Once Connie looked at her body in the mirror and found that her skin was almost losing its luster.

Connie felt extremely depressed, so she always walked in the woods of Rugby House in her free time.

Just in the woods, Connie met the servant hired by her husband, a hunting ground guarding Melles.

Meles is a person who advocates freedom. Apart from the work in the woods, he hardly deals with people. He has been married twice and has a daughter, but the daughter lives with Melles' mother and his wife lives with Melles. Disagreement, it's already gone.

Connie once inadvertently broke into the caretaker's forest hut, and inadvertently watched Melles taking a bath. Looking at Melles in the bath, Connie felt that a certain part of her body seemed to be awakened.

Later, Connie liked to go to the woods more and more, and naturally had sex with the guard that shouldn't have happened.

As a novel that was banned as soon as it came out, "Mrs. Chatterley's Lover" was banned many times and was also labeled as "obscene", thanks to the large amount of love between the sexes in the book. The description.

The book repeatedly describes scenes where Connie and Melles are in the woods, in the cabins, and even in heavy rain.

After the two had a good time for many times, they were sure that they were in love with each other, and Connie was also pregnant with Melles.

Regarding the child, Connie’s husband, Baron Clifford, once said that he didn’t mind Connie’s finding a lover to have a child. Don’t mind that the child was not his bloodline, as long as Connie gave birth to the heir of Lagby House.

But if the baron knew that the child Connie was pregnant with was a child, it was estimated that the baron would be crazy, which would be a devastating blow to the face of his nobleman.

Therefore, Connie decided to travel and then told Clifford that she was pregnant during the trip.

But the world is unpredictable, and Melles's wife came back, adding more oil and jealousy to Melles' lover and making everyone know.

Finally, Melles quit her job as a forestry caretaker, and Connie told Clifford the truth intact and asked her husband for a divorce.

The book does not say whether the two people will be together in the end, but these are not important. The important thing is that both of them have taken an important step towards a new life.

The extramarital affair between an aristocratic lady and a subordinate was an unimaginable move in the era of strict hierarchy at the time. The book also described the personal affair of the two with great impact.

But there is one thing to say, these descriptions are actually more beautiful than those in Junichi's "Paradise Lost". There are not many descriptions of sex in it, and even the various scenery in the forest, various flowers, streams, and the changing of the seasons are extremely beautiful. .

Therefore, this novel is called Lawrence's greatest work today.

He praised women for finding themselves, facing their own desires, and pursuing beautiful love.

"Either love it once, or never love it. Most women have never loved and never started loving. They don't know what this means. The same goes for men."

The true pursuit of life, a new understanding of love and sex.
