Sons and Lovers: Theme: Short Note: Append Yourself Note: Modern Novel: Lawrence:

“My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh…”

Writes D.H. Lawrence at one place. This remark, though cryptic, yet, displays the belief of this great novelist in the earthly matters, the worldly pleasures, and the denial of spiritual causes in the life. Lawrence is a believer in the need of the blood running in human body, rather than the spirit residing in the flesh. His novels often argue of these. None of his novels deals with things different from these. ‘Sexual pleasure’ of the ‘experiences of sexual activity’ is what he goes to describe in his works. ‘Lady Chatterly’s Lover’ is a novel that deals openly with the experiences of sex and fleshly desires.
