Explanation and Analysis:

D.H. Lawrence's writing style is rich in its use of figurative language, both in Lady Chatterley’s Lover and in his other novels, stories, and poems. The author is sometimes criticized for an overuse of metaphor and simile in his work. He certainly employs both very frequently to explain emotional nuance and sensual experience. As is also typical of this author, Lady Chatterley’s Lover contrasts romantic and dreamy language surrounding the pastoral with harsh, modern diction describing the industrial.
