In Lady Chatterley's Lover, Lawrence comes full circle to argue once
again for individual regeneration, which can be found only through the
relationship between man and woman (and, he asserts sometimes, man and man).
Love and personal relationships are the threads that bind this novel together.
Lawrence explores a wide range of different types of relationships. The reader
sees the brutal, bullying relationship between Mellors and his wife Bertha, who
punishes him by preventing his pleasure. There is Tommy Dukes, who has no
relationship because he cannot find a woman whom he respects intellectually and
at the same time finds desirable. There is also the perverse, maternal
relationship that ultimately develops between Clifford and Mrs. Bolton after
Connie has left.
