In Interpretation of Tickets, Please from Evolution and Sexual Selection Theory
Abstract
D.H. Lawrence is one of the most controversial writers in English literature in the 20th century. He has been frequently
criticized for his unfriendly treatment of female characters and a repulsion against Darwin’s theory. However, his view on women
and Darwinism gradually changed and developed. This paper intends to explore this change of view from the reading of Lawrence’s
short story Ticket, Please.
