로렌스의 "지도자 소설" 재평가 : Aaron's Rod를 중심으로 Focused on Aaron's Rod = A Reappraisal of D. H. Lawrence's "Leadership Novels"

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

D. H. Lawrence's later novels Aaron's Rod, Kangaroo, and The Plumed Serpent make up a kind of trilogy. So far many of Lawrence's critics have regarded the trilogy as "leadership novels," focusing solely on the single issue of power. There are two more issues, equally important, selfhood and sexuality, apart from the power issue, that Lawrence laid equal emphasis on in these novels. This paper is to confirm Lawrence's vision for complete harmony of the three vital forces by analyzing the first of the trilogy Aaron's Rod.
Aaron and Lilly achieve balance between selfhood and power when Lilly cures Aaron's illness with an oil massage. Aaron and Marchesa achieve balance between selfhood and sexuality through their musical performance. Unfortunately this novel fails to reveal complete harmony and balance of the three vital forces.
In short, it is wrong to regard the trilogy only as "leadership novels" or "political novels." This study proven that it is a trilogy of rebirth, an attempt to reconcile selfhood, sexuality, and the power-urge, and furthermore to achieve a vision of renewal of mankind's vitality. Aaron's Rod leads to further explorations which Kangaroo and The Plumed Serpent will provide. It is expected that various studies on these novels will be made from this point of view.
