초록

This article examines the organic relationship between Tom Brangwen’s family members in D. H. Lawrence’s The Rainbow from an ecocritical perspective. Lawrence emphasizes that there must be both a wholeness of humanity and separate individuality in his essay “Love.” This duality can be found in Tom’s attitude toward his wife Lydia and daughter Anna. Tom and Lydia undergo repeated cycles of severe conflicts and reconciliations. Tom comes to respect Lydia’s individuality by keeping his distance from her when it is necessary. He also realizes that Anna is an independent human being when she falls in love with Will and gets married to him. Although the interaction between human beings is mainly described in this novel, it is accompanied by Tom’s expanded perception of the vastness of nature and the universe. The “blood consciousness” of Lydia can be developed in her relationship with not only Tom but also nature and the universe. Lawrence suggests a way to overcome anthropocentrism by portraying “spirituality” in nature.
