Lady Chatterley’s Lover is not about a love that has gone wrong it is about a love that never started. Constance, a young vibrant sexual advanced woman marries Clifford and young man with an old mind and sexual interests. Constance should have never married Clifford and Clifford should have never married Constance. Someone might say that opposites attract but in this situation they don’t stay happy. Once Clifford comes home from the war, Clifford and Constance became roommates at best. Constance thought progressively about life, wanted to be her partners equal and wanted all the love and passion that life has to offer. Clifford on the other hand was very staunch and cold. He thought passion was reading or writing a book. Sex was of little interest to him before he got hurt and was not possible after he came home from the war.
Clifford lived his life of writing and business and Constance lived her life with affairs of great passion and sexual encounters. Both knew of each other lives and continued to be married in name only.
Lady Chatterley’s Lover was a very interesting take on a woman that lived before her time. She had the ideas of a woman that should be living in the year 2007. She was comfortable with her sexuality and experienced things that her aristocratic friends I am sure never even thought about much less did. She thought of herself as an equal to men, and she wanted a partnership with a man. She was not happy with just being married to a name. She wanted passion, passion and more passion. Unfortunately, Constance married a man that couldn’t even spell passion.
