¶ … DH Lawrence's "The Horse Dealer's Daughter"
The short story by DH Lawrence entitled, "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" talks about the sudden love that both Mabel Pervin and Dr. Jack Fergusson had experienced when he accidentally saved Mabel from the suicide she intends to do. Aside from the theme of love, one of the main issues that will be discussed in relation to the theme of love is the importance of both protagonists' (Mabel and Jack) role in their small community, and how the roles that they have affects their own conception of real love.
Mabel Pervin is illustrated in the story as a very quiet and reserved woman, talking and saying nothing to her brothers at the start of the story. It is evident that there is no bond between the brothers and their sister Mabel, who, after several attempts from her brothers' part to talk to her, remain motionless and uncommunicative, answering their questions with curt replies, sometimes, not even answering at all. The unfavorable relationship between the...
As the story progresses, we learn that she had no close women acquaintances except for her sister who had died already, and was left alone to the care of her brothers and father. Unfortunately, her circle of friends became smaller as her father passed away, and Mabel was left with no one to confide in to except for the intimate and 'close' relationship that she maintains with her mother, through her mother's grave at the back of the church in their community. The act of cleaning her grave is symbolic of the devotion that she has for her mother, and this reflects her loneliness for being a woman with no on to be with, and no one to take care of her. Prior to her attempted suicide, the character of Mabel Pervin can be illustrated as a lonely, silently frustrated woman, who craves for the love of an individual who will…
Horse Dealer's Daughter" by DH Lawrence and "The Blue Hotel" by Stephen Crane The short stories by DH Lawrence and Stephen Crane, entitled "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" and "The Blue Hotel," respectively, have differing plot, character developments, settings, and style of the author, but these two short stories are a good study of literature because of one unique similarity that the short stories have regarding the plot of their story,
Although "Midsummer" is a shot work, in keeping with more of the original modernistic style of poetry writing, it is no less poignant in the message it conveys. Conclusion In many ways, DH Lawrence is a visionary that offers the reader imagery and creativity that engulfs the reader into the world in which he creates with his words. As with Walcott, it was not necessary for Lawrence to achieve cadence in
Vic Women Women as Outsiders: A Comparison of Jane Eyre and "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" Women are often portrayed as a marginalized "other" or outsider in literature, reflecting the degree to which they are outside the traditional patriarchal concepts of authority and power as well as (for much of Western history) outside the practical and legal means of self-sufficiency and self-direction. As the times have shifted, the particular perspective and definition of
The characters have faults, the endings are not happy, and the characters have real emotions and feelings. Just like real life, the young boy cannot fulfill his desire to buy the girl he loves a present, he is too afraid. And similarly, the young girl tries to kill herself, only to be rescued by a young doctor who then feels "obligated" to love her. The similarities here are that
Emily's only social imperfection in her eyes was remaining unmarried, and to remedy that when she could not possess Homer Barron, she murdered him. The loss of her father is replaced by an obsession with another man. Emily literally cannot live without a man, even if she must become a kind of "threatening" and murderous harpy to have a husband (Clarke 6). Faulkner's Emily lives for love. She follows the
worked tirelessly to understand the literary works of a variety of authors including poets Pat Mora, Shirley Geok-Lim, John Keats, and Robert Frost, and short-story writer DH Lawrence. As we have compared the works of these poets and determined how common themes are shared, and through a deep reading and literature analysis of Lawrence's short, I have been able to explore different writing and analytical approaches that have allowed
