This was quite slow paced at the start and hard to get into. But half way through it started to get more interesting and I got more invested in Lady Chatterley and her affair. I think it brings up thought provoking questions around morality, mind vs body, the importance of physicality/sex in a relationship. Some of it was quite anti feminist, it seemed to push a narrative that women don't enjoy and don't want sex, but I reckon that was probably the view at the time of it being written. I can definitely see how it was ground breaking at the time, being written as Britain leaves the super puritanical victorian era and I can see why it was labelled as scandalous. I think also even though it is anti feminist in some ways, having a female protagonist have a sexual affair because she wasn't able to have sex with her husband and therefore desired sex is quite a new concept on female sexuality at the time, and I do believe Laurence was condemning the argument of sex outside of marriage being immoral. Reading this through the lens of the 2020s didn't have quite the same effect, the sex scenes and the discussions of female sexuality haven't aged that well and don't seem groundbreaking or scandalous at all. However I still think it's important to read, considering all the fuss that was kicked up over it and it wasn't published in the UK uncensored until nearly 40 years after it was written.
