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. 劳伦斯——一个局外人的一生
摘 要
D. H. 劳伦斯（1885——1930）出生在诺丁汉矿区的伊斯特伍德。他的父亲是一名矿工，终日沉迷于酒，没有受过教育，也不会书写。但是他的母亲却来自一个书香门第，也正是这位母亲，对劳伦斯的成长起到了至关重要的作用。
劳伦斯生长在下层社会，但是母亲的期望以及他自己的天赋，使得他能够靠读书往上层社会攀爬。最终成为一个兼小说家、散文家、文学评论家、及教育家于一身的大家。
劳伦斯的一生，是浪漫的，因为他对爱和对女人的追求是狂热的；他的一生也是孤独的，因为他始终徘徊在主流的外围；他的一生也是痛苦的，因为病痛和贫困始终伴随着他。
劳伦斯一生都在逃，在寻找，在挣扎。他的绝望没人知晓，他的离群索居和自我放逐只是为了掩饰心中的恐惧，和寻找一个他自己也不知道的答案。
本文通过对劳伦斯一生的概述，以及对他作品的分析，去探索他的内心世界，去挖掘他是为何选择做一个局外人，去看看他所追寻的爱和性，在他的眼里又意味着什么。
男人是一个长不大的孩子，在某些方面，劳伦斯便是这样一个人，但就是这样的劳伦斯，敢于与弗里达私奔，敢于与他所深爱的国家决裂，敢于与所谓的主流对抗。
这就是劳伦斯，一个简单直率的人，也是一个不折不扣的局外人。
