Summary/Abstract: In this paper I discuss D. H. Lawrence’s work Mornings in Mexico within an approach theoretically derived from ethical criticism. I interpret Lawrence’s attitude to the new realities he encountered in his new surroundings as instances of a responsive/ible (inherently creative) reading thus shedding new light on and illustrating how Lawrence creatively responded to the other in his travel writing.
