ImperfectCJ I like reading lists like this. I feel compelled to point out, though, that the article got the name of the narrator of Lolita wrong (it's Humbert Humbert, not Herbert Humbert). 8mo

The story concerns a young married woman, the former Constance Reid (Lady Chatterley), whose upper-class baronet husband, Sir Clifford Chatterley, described as a handsome, well-built man, is paralysed from the waist down because of a Great War injury. Constance has an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors.

I think I have a better appreciation of this, having read it with others for #sundaybuddyread, and I‘m happy to have read it… but too much of it just seemed to be written just to be inflammatory without enough substance in the primary, surface-level plot for me to like it. Plus just far too much talking to appendages rather than to people… 😵‍💫 thanks for the push to check it off the list, @TheBookHippie 😅

Finished for #SundayBuddyRead & while I‘m glad I finally read it (after picking it up in high school & then putting it back down unread) I didn‘t enjoy it. I found Lawrence‘s writing overwrought & all over the place & while I admire his social commentary & daring to write this book in his era, no character is likable & the sex scenes it was banned for are not sexy. The best part of the book was the weekly discussion.

AmyG The sex scenes are cringeworthy. 😬 1y

This book is such a muddle. Some passages of truly beautiful prose & lucid insight into the human condition, marred by a terribly ugly & reactionary worldview that made me feel trapped by a heavy sense of desolation as I read it. It's definitely a glimpse into the tortured psyche of D.H. Lawrence. But ultimately what comes through is a general hatred of people, especially "weak" people, & the types of difference that make people human & flawed.

batsy Thanks to the #SundayBuddyRead for giving me a reason to read a book that's been on my shelves for so long. I've enjoyed the discussions & it helps to see what others make of it. I liked the searing criticism of industrial modernity & its excesses & brutalities, but couldn't reconcile it with Lawrence's general aversion for anyone that wasn't pure, whole, able-bodied, with a sexual mysticism rooted in heterosexuality. 1y

I can see why this book was banned with all of the sex scenes. Even I was surprised of the details it had for that time period. I really liked D.H. Lawrence's comments towards sex, gender equality, social class, and industrialization. What I was not too fond of was of Connie and Clifford. They irritated me.

Having made copious notes, where do I start to sum up my thoughts and feelings? I was surprised there was no firm final tragic parting of the lovers, as the text occasionally seemed to be leaning and which I think historical classics are often guilty of.
I feel like as forward thinking as Lawrence may have been in his day, he's so far behind where we are now in relation to sex and gender that I can't sing his praises. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? I am glad that his challenge against the soul-crushing, polluting industries of his day was out there for all to read, similarly his painful repetition of instances of classism indicating how destructive such a system is. 1y
Robotswithpersonality 3/? Connie and Oliver are flawed, but they work as object lessons of how a society set up with certain roles and expectations does a disservice to all involved, whether they act in accordance with the rules or try to step outside them. Oliver and Clifford also distill how wretched wars/conflicts/military's effect on humans is. 1y
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 My gut instinct that many historical classics decided to present their message via the medium of misery is holding steady, unfortunately, and it's not my preferred reading.

⚠️Ableism, classism, racism, antisemitism, SA, spousal abuse, misogyny, transphobia (in A Propos after word)

A distillation of the rest of the novel: some good points buried in a bunch of antiquated attitudes I can't get on board with.
Fighting back against piracy of books such that artist gets his due royalties 👍🏻

Not bowing to censorship because his book says what it need to say in exactly the words used👍🏻 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Pushing for open awareness and understanding of sex and the importance of intimacy instead of being ashamed of sex while also robotically engaging in it in a pantomime of what it might be like if you were either invested in your partner's emotions, or at least their pleasure 👍🏻

Live in the body, find significance in daily rituals, passing of the seasons, don't make it all about the mind, some good, earthy pagan vibes, community over individualism, fighting against classism 👍🏻
1y
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 And there's some other junk related to that sanctity and power of sex and traditional values and heterosexual marriage and the Church and phallic symbolism that he kept whinging on about that I won't give space to here

Probably a result of public outcry, but interesting that this afterword/addendum addresses the themes on sex in the book but not so much those on the travesties of class and industrialization

⚠️Transphobia

Yes it's Saturday. Sorry #sundaybuddyread , just need to be done with this one.
Notes for Chapter 15 to End.
Final Review will come after reading 30 page A Propos from author found at the end of my edition (maybe every edition? 🤷🏼‍♂️)
Notes:
WAY too obsessed with the symbolism and imagery of genetalia around power and liveliness vivacity, an offshoot of toxic masculinity?
1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Kinda feels like Connie's a little too selfish in seeking her own purported ends to unhappiness to properly comfort/confront Oliver in his depression

I appreciate the originality in a lengthy passage on weaving flowers into pubic hair
1y
Robotswithpersonality 3/? I understand that he's not in a position to have thought his way through (Lawrence seems the type who could think it over and come to a more enlightened conclusion if he lived in a different era) to modern fight against/ lack of gender norms, but what's on page is often so traditional, it really knocks me out of the narrative 1y
Robotswithpersonality 4/? Oliver: code switching as method of emotional self-defense

Hilda driving sister to lover's cottage, sitting for meal = Most awkward family meal EVER

Hilda so used to taking care of sister, even into adulthood, Connie so used to her taking action, like neither can get out of the pattern
1y
See All 7 Comments
Robotswithpersonality 5/? I'm glad she's forthright enough to look after her sister's interests, and I don't appreciate Oliver's misogynistic retorts about her character, but Hilda was definitely being incredibly rude, classist and presumptuous about the level of control she would have in someone else's affairs

The reality seems to be that society has set up these two people to be contemptuous of each other - Oliver not taking any of Hilda's crap, Connie seems to want to ignore the class divide/tension and yet seems to think what Hilda said was Ok?
1y
Robotswithpersonality 6/? Respect Hilda for not settling for a partner who would not share life equally, didn't treat her well, but that doesn't mean I condone her steamroller censorious attitude towards Connie

Didn't realize the 'determined to/performance of enjoying oneself' when on holiday has been going on that long Negative description of sex work 🙄
Menopause getting the blame for woman's erratic behavior 🙄
1y
Robotswithpersonality 7/7 Sex as natural - versus society's strictures, even today in certain circles, which are appalling - yet the version of sex positivity seen here often doesn't feel very positive! More objectification and expectation.

Feel like everybody would be a lot happier if they'd had the conversation on 276-277 a lot earlier

Championing tenderness, good, yes.

Didn't see that end coming!

I didn‘t love this but I didn‘t hate it either. Of course, we all know how widely this book has been banned because of all the sex that takes place, but there really is more going on. Societal and gender norms, class prejudices, and the downfalls of industrialization to name a few, and these issues are still happening today. I did enjoy reading with the #SundayBuddyRead crew!

I was surprised at the number of socioeconomic issues raised by this book, including class prejudice, sexism, the evils of industrialization and wealth disparity. I found the book to be a bit boring, and every character annoyed me - they were all so self-centered. But I admire Lawrence's ability to make us think about the issues, which are still relevant a hundred years later. ⬇️

julieclair I can see why the book was a shocker when it first came out; there are frank discussions of sex throughout the book. I can also imagine that readers at the time may have missed some of the socioeconomic themes being portrayed, because of the novelty of the sex theme. While I cannot say I enjoyed this book, I am glad I read it. Thanks for choosing this for #SundayBuddyRead , @TheBookHippie ! #192025 #1928 @Librarybelle #TBRTarot @CBee (edited) 1y

Ch 12- 14 Notes
Amazing how easy it is for a character to decide that sex is absurd or undignified when they're not enjoying themselves. Amazing how easy it is for intimacy to get tangled, maybe it's an ace view, but Connie seems to be having a sadder time because she's convinced intimacy might come from sex, rather than being a reflection of an existing intimacy. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? and otherwise an act which may be devoid of feeling, or at least not continuing warm feelings, if you're still basically strangers with your chosen partners. No wonder she vacillates between fear and awkwardness when it comes to the act.
Of course it helps if they're actually checking in with each other, and I think in this time period it was all too likely the lady was expected to lie modest and silent while he pounds away, which Mellors not too gracefully later takes issue with.
1y
Robotswithpersonality 3/? Connie's one-sided concerns, felt like an extension of classism, bit hypocritical considering her later spat with Clifford; she despises any mannerisms that speak of Mellors heritage, any indication that he doesn't act toward her as a gentleman would, and yet wants him constantly to show he cares.
She seems to crave intimacy while being unable to offer it, does she just not know how?
1y
Robotswithpersonality 4/? I admit to having a little trouble with Mellors slipping into the colloquial dialect, does NOT make the sex scenes any better.

Clifford blustering on for pages trying to make the mess his family's made of Taversham, the disparity in income, the 'work or starve' model seem fair and orderly: fated. Blech.
1y
See All 9 Comments
Robotswithpersonality So strange to thoroughly enjoy the pastoral cottage core moments of nature described between domestic drama and social commentary. 1y
Robotswithpersonality 6/? Episode with the chair having issues and Clifford remonstrating with the keeper who'd been ordered to help and then dictating the form such help should take ... Connie's somewhat snide repetion of Clifford's earlier talk: The most blatant metaphor of the 'they need us a lot more than we need them'. Feels borderline abelist having it bound up in a mobility aid but that doesn't change how shitty Clifford's attitude was, even if his initial frustration is understandable. 1y
Robotswithpersonality 7/? And then there's Connie out the gate with the antisemitic analogy. 🫣 1y
Robotswithpersonality 8/? That whole detailing of Mellors sexual history just seven levels of awful - SA in one side, emotional abuse on the other - the whole period of history with women lying back and thinking of England and the various shitty ways men might react to it - compounded with a bit of the standard 'if I can't get her off she must be a Lesbian' and resenting her for not orgasming during penetrative sex which I believe research suggests physiologically is the most difficult form for those with a clitoris/vagina? Period typical doesn't make it any less rough to read. 1y
Robotswithpersonality 9/9 I understand the reasons for these not particularly healthy relationships being the focus, how interpersonally on an intimate scale and as a metaphor on the greater stage of society it has a lot to say about the times it was written in, but that's not going to stop me disliking their persistently miserable state. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 1y
batsy Yes, I agree. I don't know enough about Lawrence at the moment but the book seems to reflect some of the ugliness of misogyny that comes through quite strongly, despite an attempt to give voice to a character like Connie. 1y
