Much has been written on Lawrence and his “cutting edge” approach to human sexuality, but little has been written about his misogyny in relation to his work. So, from that perspective, the essay will deal primarily with a feminist rhetorical reading of Lawrence that not only interrogates notions of misogyny and cultural stereotyping, but will also interrogate such other notions as Lawrence’s approach to motherhood, sisterhood, ethnic hatred, and male victimization. Stylistically, Lawrence had a way with words that seems to privilege his own reading and writing and not necessarily those of his readers. But the one thing that cannot be argued is how he fashions his rhetoric to valorize and victimize his male characters and denigrate his female ones.
