A TEDIOUS SIMPLE TALE,
By
This review is from: The Trespasser (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D. H. Lawrence) (Paperback)
THIS SHORT, SIMPLE TALE IS TYPICAL OF LAWRENCE. A MARRIED MAN--A MUSICIAN-- UNHAPPY IN HIS MARRIAGE, HAS AN AFFAIR WITH HIS STUDENT. THEN HE CANNOT FACE HIS FAMILY AND COMMITS SUICIDE. AFTER HIS SUICIDE, LIFE GOES ON. HIS FAMILY SUCCEED WITHOUT HIM, AND HIS YOUNG MISTRESS FINDS ANOTHER MAN TO LOVE HER.
ITS IS SIMPLE AND PREDICTABLE. THE BULK OF THE PIECE DESCRIBES THE DAYS IN WHICH THE LOVERS SPEND SOME DAYS TOGETHER, ALONE, AT THE SEASHORE, ENJOYING LOVE AND NATURE. IT IS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, BUT I FOUND IT TIRESOME AFTER A WHILE. LAWRENCE WRITES NOVELS OF PURE POETRY, BUT THE TALE DID NOT KEEP ME INTERESTED. IF I WANT POETRY, I'LL READ IT!

Lawrence feels too Impressionable,
This review is from: The Trespasser (Twentieth Century Classics) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Trespasser is the tragic tale of Siemund, a music teacher with an unhappy family life, and his student, who becomes his lover. It isn't a worthless book, but your time would definately be better spent reading one of the famous Lawrence books - this is clearly the creation of a young, impressionable mind. For instance, Lawrence makes constant reference to Wagner's 'Ring' in the book, rubbing the reader's nose profusely in heavyhanded hints that Siemund is borrowed from the German composer's work.
