The Lost Girl과 로렌스의 성별의식 = Lawrence`s Gender Consciousness in The Lost Girl

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this paper is to study D. H. Lawrence`s gender consciousness and viewpoint of woman in The Lost Girl by focusing upon the contradictory relationship between the teller and the tale. The teller, the author-narrator, resents female autonomy and strength and conforms to a conventional ideology of woman as a passive agent. On the other hand, the tale reveals woman`s ability and determination to take an active role in changing the conditions of her life. In the beginning of The Lost Girl Alvina is a woman who has courage and independence. But she gradually submits to Cicio`s male power and accepts male dominance. It is remarkable that the tension between the teller and the tale makes a landmark change with the outbreak of World War I: the narrative tension and the status of women gradually weaken in the course of the war. Accordingly in The Lost Girl Lawrence shows the nature of an anti-feminist.
