Moreover, it exemplifies his use of the short story both as an aesthetic form in its own right and as a sketchbook for descriptions and characterizations that appear in his work in other genres.Īnalysis of Jane Austen’s Love and Friendship ›Ĭategories: British Literature, Literature, Short Story ![]() “Love among the Haystacks” demonstrates Lawrence’s imaginative attachment to his experiences in the countryside of his youth and the importance of the short story to him as a document thereof. Such themes continue to be explored in later stories. Himself a traveler and outsider for most of his life, Lawrence gives sympathetic treatment to characters like Paula and Lydia, who is trapped in a loveless marriage to a gypsy. In so doing it explores how lovers subvert and are constrained by social taboos, as in Maurice’s engagement to Paula, a Polish refugee. “Love among the Haystacks” is typical of the early fiction in that for both brothers “the whole feminine sex ha been represented by their mother” (89), and the story tells how such oedipal bonds are broken. Indeed, the story is drawn upon again in The Rainbow as Will and Anna “consummate” their love after making a new “stook” one night during the corn harvest. ![]() The language of the consummations is handled with the delicate metaphorical suggestion characteristic of Lawrence’s early writing. The plot centers on the sibling rivalry between Maurice and Geoffrey Wookey and their respective sexual initiations the night after the hay harvest. ![]()
