I chose to read The Horse Dealer's Daughter by DH Lawrence for my analysis. This love story takes a different approach than a normal love story. It's about a young woman named Mabel, who has discovered that her family is short on money and now doesn't know what she should do with her life. Her brothers may go away and do many different things, but since her mother died she has taken care of the house. She goes to her mother's grave which always brings her peace to cut the grass around the gravestone, because taking care of her mother's grave makes her feel close to her mother. She thinks about how her mother was a glorified woman and how she wishes she could be like that. He decides it would be best to go to the lake and commit himself, Lawrence would read it. I love DH Lawrence's take on love stories because it's not typically one of them. Being a weirdo, I like things out of the norm. To fully understand the story, I had to read it 3 or 4 times. I didn't need to read it aloud to fully understand what the author was trying to convey, but paraphrasing each line and putting it in my own words helped me understand the story. It really made me think about each line and what the author really wanted each line to mean and what he wanted the reader to walk away with. I imagine this story was written in the early 1900s and set in the countryside of a small English town. I believe this because Mabel thinks she has nowhere to go now that her family has no money. Today or even 30 years ago she could have gone to college and graduated, but the fact that she thinks her life is over because she is not married or that her family has no money suggests that this was before women brought money to home for work. family. As I read this story I liked to imagine that DH Lawrence was giving a reading at App State, for example, and that I was in the crowd. I prefer to think that stories or poems are read by the author only because they know exactly how to read it, since it is their work. So far this has been the most interesting love story I've ever read. They all generally end the same way, but I like that the ending is open and leaves room for interpretation. I think DH Lawrence did this so that readers would have a chance to be creative and develop their own
