D.H. 로렌스의 女性的 存在樣式 : "The Rainbow"의 Ursula를 中心으로 Ursula in "The Rainbow" = D.H. Lawrence and 'the female mode of being'

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

More than any other major twentieth century novelist D.H. Lawrence is concened with 'the female mode of being'. A lot of Lawrence's subject matter relates very strongly to the importance of the 'feminine', and he has pursued persistently 'the female mode of being' in his novels. Few women writers describe "women" better than Lawrence.
Lawrence's 'female mode of being' is different from that of the traditional women. Lawrence's 'female' tries to break the traditional bounds of thinking, and explore, progress, advance, think and fell in the world of a man. In Lawrence 'the female mode of being' involves in it 'the male mode of being', and through woman Lawrence searches for the perfect expression of his ideas. Lawrence is writing about the liberation of the self through woman, and Lawrence puts himself in the guise of one of the female characters. Ursula, of "The Rainbow", represents Lawrence himself. Lawrence's 'female mode of being' is considered as 'becoming', 'beyond' and 'duality of man/woman.
In this study an attempt is made to survey the 'female mode of being' in "The Rainbow". We can find three major characters in "The Rainbow", Lydia, Anna, and Ursula. these three Brangwen women face outwards 'the world beyond' to enlarge their own scope and freedom. They expect more fascinating realms of experience and '…the woman wanted another form of life than this, something that was not blood-intimacy… the world beyond.' Ursula is the central character in Lawrence's works. She makes the lonely journey, taking responsibility for the own life. She becomes independent and self responsible, gets out of the old world, and attains the freedom of a man. But Lawrence's attitude is that women must go beyond feminism to find a new world that neither men nor women know about. Ursula is intended to attain the 'big want'.
