The story goes that the story originated in Lawrence's own unhappy married life. According to critics, the flirt of Lady Ottoline Morrell with her Wagner have influenced the story. [1]

Love and personal relationships are the main themes of the book. Individual regeneration can only be found in a relationship between man and woman and in some cases between two men ... Lawrence looks at a wide range of different relationship types. There is the brutal relationship between Mellors and his wife Bertha, who punishes him by denying him pleasure. Tommy Dukes has no relationship, because he is not a woman finds that he respects intellectually and that it wishes to receive. There is also the perverse, maternal relationship between Clifford and Mrs. Bolton, when Connie leaves him. ==Body and mind<span class="mw-editsection" len="350" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><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:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Richard Hoggart argues that the main subject of Lady Chatterley's Lover not the sex scenes were those to the debate behind, but the search for integrity and sense of complete.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2" len="179" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [2]  the key to this integrity is cohesion between the mind and body, because "the body without mind is brutish; mind without body ... running away from our double being. "<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3" len="179" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [3]  the book focuses on the incoherence of a life that "only consists of the spirit".Lawrence saw this as the norm with the young members of the aristocratic class, as can be seen in his description of Constance and her sister Hilda's love affairs in their youth: <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">So they had given the gift of themselves, each to the youth with whom she had the most subtle and intimate arguments.

As the relationship between Lady Chatterley and Mellors develops, they learn more about the interrelation between mind and body; she learns that sex is more than a sinful and sobering deed and he learns about the spiritual difficulties.
