Thee Characteristics of Class Struggle in Lady Chatterley's Lover

            It is impossible to have an understanding of any of the characteristics of class struggle being portrayed in ˜Lady Chatterley's Lover". The book is quite old and the period of happening in the book is that of the First World War. The book was written by David Herbert Lawrence, an author who did not have a very high reputation as a classic writer in English. His intention was only to make money by way using his writing skills. Considering the period in which this book was written, he had probably gone a little too far from the limits which were prevalent in those days and the book was banned from sale in many countries as it was being considered to be obscene. In some countries, the ban even progressed to exist till the period of the 1960s. The reason was due to the prevalence of obscenity in the book and that was the primary reason to make the book extremely famous. .

             People were not permitted to see or read the book, and this was especially restricted for young persons who were greatly attracted to the book. This gave them a lot of encouragement for breaking the discipline and going against the ban and somehow getting a chance to read and understand as to what is so particular about the book. This part of trying to see and read something that you are not permitted led to the great popularity of this book. The book had several quotes like which were given below which greatly attracted the attention of youngsters to read the book after getting to know from others that it had elements which were far ahead of their times. "Her breasts were rather small, and dropping pear-shaped. But they were unripe, a little bitter, without meaning hanging there. And her belly had lost the fresh, round gleam it had had when she was young, in the days of her German boy, who really loved her physically." (Lady Chatterley's Lover by David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930): Chapter 7) .

             The novel depicts a woman that we normally do not see today.
