D. H. Lawrence’s Religion as a New Moralist

This study tries to look into the literary world of D. H. Lawrence and finds how he transforms sex, the object of shame, into a sacred, noble, and essential attribute given from God in the Creation. For Lawrence, love is not a product of either the mind or the body only; it is fulfilled when the mind and the body are in harmony, and when there is a balance between them. In Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Lawrence recovers the sacredness of sex from the hypocritical conventions of society through Lady Chatterley who dares to overcome the barrier that has been set up for a long time against women. Then he elevates the love between man and woman to a religion in which he believes in flesh and blood as the core of human existence
