D. H. Lawrence (1885—1930) was born in Eastwood. His father was an ordinary miner, a drunk and even an illiterate. But his mother, on the contrary, came from a scholarly family, influenced Lawrence all his lifelong, especially his early lives.
Lawrence grew up in the lower class, but his mother’s strong expectation to him and his own talent made him possible to jump out this lower class. And finally he made it; and he became a great figure known as a novelist, essayist, literary critic, and educator.
The life of Lawrence was romantic, because of his enthusiasm on love and woman. His life was also solitary, because he never stepped into the main stream of the contemporary time. His life was full of pain, because the illness and poverty haunted him.
Lawrence never stopped escaping, seeking and struggling in his life. His desperation and fear always go along with his solitude and exile, which nobody knows. All his novels seemed like his monologue, and the answer, which took his lifelong time to seek for, was never found.
This thesis is to explore the writer’s deep heart by means of Lawrence’s life, and the analysis of his works, and why he chose to be an outsider and what sex and love meant to him.
A man is just like a never grown up child. So was Lawrence, but it was him who eloped with Frieda, fighting with the main literary stream, and an outsider of his beloved country.
This is Lawrence, a straightforward person, and infinitely an outsider.
D. H. 勞倫斯——一個局外人的一生
摘 要
D. H. 勞倫斯（1885——1930）出生在諾丁漢礦區的伊斯特伍德。他的父親是一名礦工，終日沉迷于酒，沒有受過教育，也不會書寫。但是他的母親卻來自一個書香門第，也正是這位母親，對勞倫斯的成長起到了至關重要的作用。
勞倫斯生長在下層社會，但是母親的期望以及他自己的天賦，使得他能夠靠讀書往上層社會攀爬。最終成為一個兼小說家、散文家、文學評論家、及教育家于一身的大家。
勞倫斯的一生，是浪漫的，因為他對愛和對女人的追求是狂熱的；他的一生也是孤獨的，因為他始終徘徊在主流的外圍；他的一生也是痛苦的，因為病痛和貧困始終伴隨著他。
勞倫斯一生都在逃，在尋找，在掙扎。他的絕望沒人知曉，他的離群索居和自我放逐只是為了掩飾心中的恐懼，和尋找一個他自己也不知道的答案。
本文通過對勞倫斯一生的概述，以及對他作品的分析，去探索他的內心世界，去挖掘他是為何選擇做一個局外人，去看看他所追尋的愛和性，在他的眼里又意味著什么。
男人是一個長不大的孩子，在某些方面，勞倫斯便是這樣一個人，但就是這樣的勞倫斯，敢于與弗里達私奔，敢于與他所深愛的國家決裂，敢于與所謂的主流對抗。
這就是勞倫斯，一個簡單直率的人，也是一個不折不扣的局外人。
