Lady Chatterley's Lover

Summary

Lady Chatterley's Lover, a novel written by David Herbert Lawrence, tells the story of Constance Reid, Lady Chatterley, who finds herself married to Sir Clifford Chatterley. After being wounded in World War I, Clifford is confined to a wheelchair, and his marriage to Constance lacks intimacy. Desperate to find love and passion in her marriage, Lady Chatterley embarks on an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. This novel delves into the depths of human relationships, exploring themes of love, passion, class differences, and human nature. Due to its content and explicit sexuality, the book sparked much controversy during the author's lifetime and was banned from publication in many countries for obscenity. It was only decades after Lawrence's death that society fully appreciated the literary significance of the work, which is now considered one of the great novels of the 20th century.
