中文摘要
D.H.勞倫斯的作品一直具有爭議性，然而他對生命、愛情、人際關係的詮釋，透過詩般的文體和深刻的洞察力，引發了後世人們無限的深省。他的作品具有實驗及自省的特質，他主張回歸自我、充實人生，他的哲理給每個人不同的啟迪。在這喧嘩與騷動的世紀，他的話語猶如一聲聲天籟。
勞倫斯曾說《戀愛中的女人》是他最好的小說，事實上這也是後人評論最豐富的一本作品。他寫出人物們思想上、感情上的衝突，故事由兩男兩女為主軸，和其他角色糾纏一起迷亂的關係構成。其中有異性戀情的狂亂迷惘；也有同性戀情的矛盾迷離。烏蘇拉和葛德蘭‧布蘭溫兩姊妹曾出現在《彩虹》一書中，前者與學校督學魯伯特‧博金相愛，他們的關係逐漸成長，遵循著成內在祥和的路徑，足證人際關係平衡是一種充滿活力的過程。和他們相反的是後者葛德蘭與工業鉅之子杰拉德‧克雷奇的關係，沒有承諾、也沒有真誠付出及相待，雙方都具有強烈的自我意識，因此關係崎嶇不平逐漸惡化，最後杰拉德精神崩潰，不幸死於大雪皚皚之中。
《戀愛中的女人》包含了勞倫斯思想的真意，自由的創造力和自發的精神及驅策力才是健康和自由的泉源，而這些回歸到血的意識(blood-consciousness) 與理性意識(cerebral-consciousness)的平衡。而自我與他人的關係應如魯伯特‧博金在書中所述星辰平衡(star equilibrium)。即男女藉著互相對立而不失去自己個體的均衡關係，而達成超越愛情的理想
本論文共分五章，第一章是對勞倫斯其人及小說《戀愛中的女人》做簡要說明。從第二章起分別對男女關係、女性情誼、男性情誼，做詳盡的探討，第五章結論試圖將每一段人際關係，依時間進展將關係的優劣程度予以量化，進而繪出其關係發展折線圖，更能看出人物互動關係之演化。

Abstract
D. H. Lawrence writings remained controversial throughout his career; they are still so today. However, his rendering of life, love and human relationships has provoked much comment due to the intensity of its emotion and sexual openness. His works are very explorative and interrogative. He attempts in a most fascinating manner to experience life to its full, and is consistent in a philosophy which allows for various perspectives.
Women in Love, which Lawrence himself considered his best, has elicited more criticism than anything else he wrote. It is the story of the lives and emotional conflicts of two sisters. Gudrun and Ursula, who appeared in the former work The Rainbow, live in a Midlands colliery town. Ursula falls in love with Birkin, a school inspector, and Gudrun has a tragic affair with Gerald, the son of the local colliery owner. These four clash in thought, passion and belief, and the reader is gripped by deeply held by Lawrence’s convictions about love, human relationship and modern society. As all four characters search for a fuller life, their relationships shift and change; and violence is never far below the surface.
Women in Love contains the quintessence of Lawrence’s message. The goal of human life should be to come into an understanding of one’s being and blood, as Lawrence tells us to open ourselves freely to the influx of life. The integral self must be kept whole and distinct, and even to some degree, separate, as Birkin’s two stars are separate. To get redemption in spontaneous individuality, one should achieve a balance between blood-consciousness and mental consciousness.
In my thesis there are five chapters. The first chapter is an introduction to Lawrence, the writer, and Women in Love. From the second chapter on, I deal with the man-woman relationships. And then friendships and relationships among female characters and male characters. When Lawrence talks of a relationship, he talks in terms of a committed, one-to-one, intense, creative partnership akin to the marriage relationship. The overall conclusion is stated in the last chapter. From somewhat social psychologist point of view, I closely study the interpersonal communication and relationships of the characters. Birkin and Ursula choose life and commit themselves to their quest for an integral being, whereas Gerald and Gudrun fail in their quest for a coherent self and harmonious life. In the relationship charts, the fluctuating lines indicate how the characters quest for a possible fulfillment.
