Abstract
Defender of the body as the only human power capable of acting against social adversities, D. H. Lawrence was categorized throughout his work as “erotic”, especially in his most robust narrative, Lady Chatterley's Lover. However, the author's ambivalences are confusing due to the moralizing content present in the narrative. Despite the sex scenes, there is a pro-life message of union between lovers, and a belief in the life-death-life cycle of beings. Moreover, there is a social aspect along with psychological aspects of the characters. As we analyze in this work, the construction of a positive and affirmative image of the body and its relationship with nature is not new, but renewed by Lawrence in the 20th century which provides nature with broad meanings beyond representation. In this sense, we seek to trace the relationship between the novel Lady Chatterley's Lover and Spinoza's philosophy, Shakespeare's poetics and Bakhtin's study of the body and nature.
