This paper is intended to analyse and identify the aspects and characteristics in the alchemical imagination of D. H. Lawrence’s novels. Such alchemical imagination is an expression to find the fulfillment of creative self as an ultimate end of his art and life. In Lawrence, there are intentional consciousness and desire for the progress toward a primordial, ideal type of supreme being which protagonists in Lawrence’s novels seek. Critical of ordinary lower self, they are trying to get over lacking and corruptive state of modern people’s selves and want to advance into the highest state of selves through dynamic interaction with the nature and the universe. Protagonists in Lawrence’s novels seek the spiritual fullness of their selves beyond the ordinary lower level into transcendental level. They try to change their selves into a wonderful, creative ones, and return to the primordial state of their beings. Lawrence’s ideal like this is associated with an artistic alchemy. Choice-gold men like Adam and Eve in Garden of Eden in the beginning days of the paradisal scenes described in the novels are an embodiment of alchemical vision of creation. This aspect makes Lawrence viewed as an artistic alchemist. The protagonists in his novels wish to evolve into a supreme type of being like a refined choice gold man. So this tendency in Lawrence’s novels makes his novels into an alchemical work. In this respect, an alchemical approach to Lawrence’s novels can be a compass for a deep, real understanding and evaluation of his novels.
Abstract
This paper is intended to analyse and identify the aspects and characteristics in the alchemical imagination of D. H. Lawrence’s novels. Such alchemical imagination is an expression to find the fulfillment of creative self as an ultimate end of his art and life. In Lawrence, there are intentional consciousness and desire for the progress toward a primordial, ideal type of supreme being which protagonists in Lawrence’s novels seek. Critical of ordinary lower self, they are trying to get over lacking and corruptive state of modern people’s selves and want to advance into the highest state of selves through dynamic interaction with the nature and the universe. Protagonists in Lawrence’s novels seek the spiritual fullness of their selves beyond the ordinary lower level into transcendental level. They try to change their selves into a wonderful, creative ones, and return to the primordial state of their beings. Lawrence’s ideal like this is associated with an artistic alchemy. Choice-gold men like Adam and Eve in Garden of Eden in the beginning days of the paradisal scenes described in the novels are an embodiment of alchemical vision of creation. This aspect makes Lawrence viewed as an artistic alchemist. The protagonists in his novels wish to evolve into a supreme type of being like a refined choice gold man. So this tendency in Lawrence’s novels makes his novels into an alchemical work. In this respect, an alchemical approach to Lawrence’s novels can be a compass for a deep, real understanding and evaluation of his novels.
