Abstract

The masterpiece of modernist literature Women in Love by D.H. Lawrence delves into the complicated dynamics that existed between gender and romantic relationships in the early 20th century. This research delves into the intricate depiction of women in the novel, including their place in society, the evolving dynamics of their interactions with men, and the recurring ideas of love, power, and freedom. Through the lens of feminism, this research examines D.H. Lawrence's critique of the conventional gender roles that have been placed on men and women, as well as his characters' attempts to forge their paths and the impact of societal pressures on their romantic relationships.
