A Realist Modernist’s Challenge to Readers’ Expectations

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on how D.H. Lawrence, one of the most controversial figures of modernism, succeeds in challenging his audience’s expectations by a subtle combination of conventional and innovative elements. “Women in Love”, deceivingly constructed as a realist novel, turns out to be nothing but a novel in which all the anxieties and uncertainties of the modern individual at the beginning of the twentieth century are brought to the fore. Lawrence’s main interest in “Women in Love” is the modern individual, socially and individually perceived, whose identity is built up out of the fragmentary, sometimes unequivocal identities of the various characters of the novel.
