dc.description.abstract | Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence tells about Connie who has a
conflict with her husband, Clifford. After he is sent to war and being impotent,
Connie lacks of intimacy and affection. She exactly cannot cope with her husband’s
physical and emotional paralysis, because as a young normal married woman she
finds that she must fulfill her own need at very basic level-sexual need. When that
need is not fulfilled, she has an idea to solve the problem by having relationship with
another man. The purpose of writing this thesis is to get understanding that literature
presents human problems. By studying the main character’s motivation, the readers
could learn and get moral message of how to solve the human problems in the daily
life especially dealing with motivation of needs which can cause the destruction of
the family.

needs of Connie 2) What are the spirituals needs of Connie, 3) How is Connie’s
