The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to analyse D. H. Lawrence's two novels, Sons and Lovers and The Rainbow. Through his characters, Lawrence expresses the refusal of his contemporary world influenced by industrialization and mechanization. He shows how this environment corrupts individuals and how it prevents them from reaching fulfilment. He emphasizes the need to return to a more perceptive way of life connected with nature and others. By analyzing Lawrence's characters and discussing different themes in the novels, this thesis aims to capture the essence of Lawrence's philosophy, values and insights into his understanding of a fulfilled life.
