Résumé 0

The poetic polysemy of marine metaphors in Lady Chatterley’s Lover enables Lawrence to set up images of the flux he perceives as a creative force against images of petrification and dissolution, but the fluctuating meanings of the sea images themselves recall the sea’s instability, which serves as a metaphor for love, sex, otherness, connection, degeneration, and rebirth.
