Lawrence was torn between a alternating admiration for his mother and his father. In his early years he tilted more to his mother, but later he turned of her possessive attitude and he got more eye for the liveliness of his father. This contrast printed a stamp on his literary pursuits and stature he often gave in the fictional characters in his works.

Lawrence summed up the entire life on as a fight between the opposite characteristics which he observed with his father and mother. According to him, was all of this penetrated, not only the difference between the sexes but also society as a whole with all its different layers as well as the inner self of each person separately.

He was suspicious of a life according to the laws of the mind; He had more confidence in purely intuition and experience. He was of the opinion that modern technology would eventually result in the downfall of humanity. He was also sceptical about the modern democracy, which he found it to be with all its rules and laws would undermine its nationals spiritually. ==Literary work and wanderings[ Edit] == D. h.

He believed that eroticism belonged to the base of life and therefore not be deprived. This view at the time called many resistors on. as a result, one negative was critical of his work and a book like Lady Chatterley's Lover from 1928 until decades after his death in its entirety should be published (this work is regarded as his most famous novel). Until many years after his death the negative criticism turn into positive and got one appreciation for his work. ===Frieda von Richthofen<span class="mw-editsection" len="341" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:20.3636360168457px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">His free views on sexuality was also evident in the relationship that he got in 1912 with the German Frieda von Richthofen Weekley (a cousin of the famous German fighter pilot from the first world war Manfred von Richthofen). He had her in his study at the Nottingham University College they know-was, at the time the wife of a professor there. Von Richthofen promised for him her marriage goodbye and left with him to Germany where Lawrence was accused to be a British spy. Intercession of Von Richthofens father, however, he was released. Lawrence and his girlfriend left Germany and travelled through the Alps and Italy back to Britain, a trip which he would later describe in his travelogue Twilight in Italy from 1916.

The result was that after the end of the war from Britain moved away, partly because there had been discovered with him tuberculosis . Lawrence came only sporadically back. He then traveled a number of countries, not only in Europe (Italy and France) but also abroad such as the United States, Mexico and Australia. These trips formed a fertile breeding ground for all kinds of travel reports, whose level is lower than that of his earlier written work.
