Department of English & Applied Linguistics Qurtuba University Of Science & Information Technology Peshawar (May 2011) An Analysis of Human relationship in Lady Chatterley’s Lover
Devid Hurbert Lawrence’s novel “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” is essentially about human relationship. It is all time human concern. It is a story of discovery, a journey, towards a balanced approach in which mind and body are equally valued. Lawrence, in his novel writing, is mainly concerned with human relationships. In words of David Daiches “with Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928) Lawrence returned to the central theme of his earlier novels – the possibilities of adequate human relationships in modern civilization” (1166). Nicholas has mentioned the same point “ the quest for a perfect male-female relationship can be called the centralal subject of Lawrence’s fiction”(96.He probes into various aspects of relationships, the relationship between man and his environment, the relationship of man to God and nature, the relationship between a parent and a child, the relationship between a man and a women, the relationship between instinct and intellect. According to him the most important of human relationships is that between man and woman. The novels of Lawrence

    In Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, I learned that relationships are tested in situations with drastic outcomes. For example, a scene occurs where Egeus is angry at his daughter Hermia for wanting to marry someone without his consent (22). Egeus then threatens to kill Hermia if she didn't marry Demetrius, the man he gave his consent to. This relates back to the theme because Egeus put his father-daughter relationship on the line so he could get his way. As Egeus said "As she is mine I may dispose of her," meaning he is willing to let his daughter die rather than allow her to marry freely. Another example of this theme occurring is when Helena accuses Hermia of partaking in a prank where Hermia's lovers taunt her (106-107). Helena…

    Wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast” (Shakespeare 2.3.99). This quote by Friar Lawrence in William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, perfectly sums up two different types of relationships. One of which is represented by Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, who run fast into their love even though their families have a seemingly unending feud. They attempt to keep their relationship secret, which causes complications and ultimately ends in their death that barriers their families feud. A similar, but slower, relationship, which is the second type, is formed as a friendship between Lennie and George, in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, who are ranch hands that end up working on a farm in the Salinas Valley. They spend the majority of their lives together, George, small and smart, and Lennie, bigger but less intelligent, until trouble with a man on the ranch named Curley and his wife leads to George killing Lennie. When the two texts are compared, George and Lennie have a stronger relationship, because they always care for each other, they have trust, and their relationship is based off of friendship, while on the other hand Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is developed off of regretted actions, infatuation, and empty words.…

    Living in a world where mistrust and deceit runs a totalitarian government. Ray Bradbury created a dystopia, where everyone in society questions one another's knowledge and criticizes other based on how different they are from everyone else. Trusting others is questionable throughout the novel. Meanwhile, everyone isolates each other from the rest of the world, where lacking of communication come into play and causes to make poor judgements towards another individual. In Bradbury Fahrenheit 451, mostly everyone in society lacks meaningful relation due to poor communication and trust.…

    Love is a mysterious journey. Love can either be for the better, or the worse. Love should be the choice of you, yourself, and not forced upon you by others. As the famous quote “Love is not for the faint of heart.” states, love is not an easy thing. You must undergo heartache, failure and rejection in order to succeed with love. This is very prevalent in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the case of Lysander and Demetrius.…

    Some may argue that the greatest love story to date is Romeo and Juliet: the love; the passion; the unlikely pair. Although Romeo and Juliet may be a great tale of two unlikely lovers, it could never compare to Our Christian Story. However, throughout these two renowned stories, elements of love and sacrifice can be demonstrated frequently. Out of love, we are able to make sacrifices for those whom which we hold dear to our hearts; when humanity betrayed God by consuming fruit from the forbidden tree, He displayed an unconditional love by sending His only son, Jesus Christ, to absolve us from sin. This represents a vital bond of love that has, over time, remained between God and humanity, but to experience this bliss we must freely embrace…

    Edward Taylor’s “Huswifery” and Anne Bradstreet’s “To My Dear and Loving Husband” both are written in Puritan plain style, however Edward Taylor’s “Huswifery” displays a more puritanical message. These poets use apostrophe and metaphors to thoroughly describe the subject in which they were writing. “To My Dear and Loving Husband” is a poem that portrays Anne Bradstreet’s thoughts on her marriage. While Bradstreet writes about her love for her husband, Edward Taylor writes indirectly about his love for God in his poem, “Huswifery.”…

    In modern times, poetry is often considered a complicated and confusing art, incapable of being fathomed by an average person.

Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor use two different writing styles to compare a similar topic in drastically contrasting ways.…

    In the poem Love Calls Us to the Things of This World Richard Wilbur defamiliarizes laundry by turning the clothes into angels. This idea of laundry being angels is first introduced by the lines “Outside the open window the morning air is all awash with angels. Some are in bed-sheets, some are in blouses, some are in smocks: but truly there they are.” Additionally, this idea is later backed up by the line “Now they are rising together in calm swells of halcyon feeling, filling whatever they wear with the deep joy of their impersonal breathing.” This line really sells the idea that these angels are in fact laundry by creating the image of the angels rising together like clothes on a clothing pin outside the window. Furthermore, This line states that the angels fill whatever they wear which is exactly what clothes do. I personally just found it unfamiliar how the movement of laundry in the wind is like the rising and falling of angels in the sky. I also found that these lines include a word that I rarely hear after the word laundry; this word is joy. Why would there be joy in laundry? Almost every person hates to do or look at laundry. Later, the poem continues to further…

    The play, ‘Romeo and Juliet’ by William Shakespeare and the novel, ‘Pride and Prejudice’,1813, by Jane Austen, both have the same concepts of love and that a rather negative perspective on love is that the costs may outweigh the rewards. In both texts, they demonstrate the limitations that prevent them from being together. In ‘Romeo and Juliet’, the idea of the opposing families, the pressures of society, the use of violent acts and language is ultimately what prevents the star-crossed lovers from being together is very similar. Both Shakespeare and Austen use a variety of literary techniques to convey the idea that the costs of love may outweigh the rewards.…
