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.…

    The issue behind the development of human behavior lies on two different points of view. The sociological or pro-nurture and the physiological or pro-nature explanation behind human development. Pro-nature argue that humans behave seems to be influenced by generic make-up, inherited from the biological parents. Therefore, this theory proposed that the differences on people behaviors are linked to each one’s unique genetic code. Furthermore, humans develop their behavioral capacities throughout a learning process that begins when born and will last a life time growing and maturing. On the other hand, the pro-nurture theory believes that the environment inputs along with life experiences are accounted for the development of human behavior.…

    John C. Calhoun was born on March 18, 1782 and died on March 31, 1850. He was an American Politician and a political theorist. He began his career as a nationalist, modernizer, and a proponent of a strong national government. Over time his views changed and he became a greater proponent of states’ rights, limited government, nullification and free trade, he saw this as the only way to save the Union. He was very well known for his intense defense of slavery as a positive good his distrust of majoritarianism and for pointing the south toward the secession from the Union. Calhoun built his reputation as a political theorist by his redefinition of republicanism to include approval of slavery and minority rights, with the Southern states the minority in question. To protect minority rights against majority rule, he called for a "concurrent majority" where the minority could sometimes block offensive proposals that a state felt infringed on their sovereign power. Always distrustful of democracy, he minimized the role of the Second Party System in South Carolina. Calhoun's defense of slavery became defunct, but his concept of concurrent majority, whereby a minority has the right to object to or even veto hostile legislation directed against it, has been cited by other advocates of the rights of…

    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.

While Bradstreet writes about her love for her husband, Edward Taylor writes indirectly about his love for God in his poem, “Huswifery.”…

    Several sects from all over Europe made North America their home throughout the 17th century. Beginning with the southern Chesapeake colonies, the North American regions were assembled by their founding nations. English Puritans and Separatists and Spanish Conquistadores eventually formed settlements in the New World; however, Puritans and Separatists and Spanish Conquistadores differed fundamentally in their original motivation to explore the foreign paradise. After facing prosecution in England, the Puritans and Separatists traveled to the New World’s northeast aiming to establish religiously tolerant settlements, whereas the Spanish explored the “West Indies” with hopes to exploit the Southwest’s piñata of expensive metals and non-Christian…

    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.…
