초록/요약
This paper is to study the changing aspects of D. H. Lawrence's view of woman by focusing on the contradictory relationship between the teller and the tale in The Rainbow, The Lost Girl, and Lady Chatterley's Lover. The teller resents female autonomy and strength, while the tale reveals woman's ability and determination to take an active part in changing the social conditions. It is remarkable that the tension between them is not consistent but changeable. In The Rainbow, the narrative tension between the teller and the tale is very strong, and the narrative dichotomy reveals two aspects: when Ursula's struggle for independence takes on socio-political characters, she is described as a desirable woman, while, when the objects of her struggle are of psychosexual characters, she is described as a negative woman like a harpy. In The Lost Girl, the narrator is ironic, and Alvina, unlike Ursula, gradually submits to Cicio. The tension considerably lessens as the story comes to the latter part. Finally, in Lady Chatterley's Lover, Connie submits to Mellors, so to speak, to his phallic power as Lawrence adopts the male-centered theory of femininity. In consequence, the tension lessens so remarkably that the tale is dominated by the teller. In conclusion, in The Rainbow Lawrence shows the quality of a pro-feminist. In the Lost Girl, he takes on an ambiguous attitude. At last, in Lady Chatterley's Lover he reveals the nature of an anti-feminist.
