Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 2, 0, Bayerische Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (Anglistik), Veranstaltung: Proseminar: Pastoral Novels, 6 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: When the first version of Lady Chatterley's Lover was published in 1926, the readers had been shocked, because it was about sex. Since then there have been various speculations, books and articles about if there was more to this book than sex - and there certainly is. The term paper concentrates on three main aspects: civilisation, marriage and tenderness. I chose three points of criticism of society, namely the war, the class system and industrialisation. In the chapter 'marriage', I decided to focus mainly on the Chatterley's marriage and the relation between Connie and Mellors, though also the couples Ted and Ivy Bolton and Mellors and Bertha Coutts come up shortly. For the last point in this term paper, I grouped the aspects of Connie's relations before she had met Mellors and her relation with him. In this last chapter, I tried not to give too many examples to show in which way the two lovers behave tenderly, but I rather attempted to give an overview over their relationship and the ramifications of tenderness for them.
