  • The Destructive Impulse of the Intellectuals in <I>Women in Love</I>

抄録

In this paper, I will focus on the destructive impulses which the intellectual characters in Women in Love manage to contain under the disguise of their sophisticated manners and appearances. Since the war was fought among the civilized men (at least who would profess to be so) on the European continent, it was a vain attempt, as far as Lawrence was concerned, to denounce the Great War (1914-18) publicly from the humanistic and aesthetic point of view. It must have been a more urgent business for Lawrence to examine human nature which caused the war than a detrimental effect upon body and soul the war had. That is why Lawrence proceeded to trace the cause of the war back to the origin of the human souls he calls “the unconscious” in his own way and regards as “the well head, the fountain of real motivity.”<BR>Such modern intellectuals and leading people of the day as Hermione, Gerald and Gudrun have hard surface that protects against the sense of inner deficiency and the fear of self-disintegration. The instability of their psyche can be ascribed to the way “the unconscious” works. I am going to examine their psychic constitution especially when they are on the verge of having recourse to violence.
