Abstract
eral, single-minded reading of those novels and tales which are marked by violent action leads necessarily to a verdict of perversity or obsession. This essay seeks to differentiate forms of violent action or emotion that lead to the infliction or suffering of physical pain and further, to distinguish physical trauma from mental or so-called spiritual anguish. My intention is to show that in the short stories pain is not a means to enlightenment, but rather the reverse; that physical pain is condemned by Lawrence because it reduces the range of humanness, and is therefore to be strictly avoided. John B. Vickery's able analysis of mythic themes and archetypes in Lawrence's short stories reviews instances of ritualistic violence
