day that finally Clifford gave divorce to Connie. They were sure they could see the day coming because they love each other.
Ⅵ. Conclusion
Though Lawrence gave so many frank descriptions of sexual love in this book, the direct reason that led to Connie’s decision of going away with Mellors was that they loved each other. The so many descriptions of their sexual love were foreshadowing of their love. Woman would not casually have sex with other man only if she loves him. At the beginning, Connie was a woman inside herself already dead. But her other self was awaking in her sexual experience with Mellors. She found the true love. From the pure sexual love to the spiritual love between them, a new Connie was born. She found herself in the past was so foolish and meaningless. She found the true meaning of life. And she had finished the rebirth of herself. Their love made Connie decide to go away with her love, giving up her social status, the wealth, and a “happy” life living in Wragby Hall. She wanted the real happy life. So she decided to begin a new life with her lover.
In a word, hadn’t the sexual love, hadn’t their spiritual love. The sexual love was for the spiritual love.
