What was Lawrence's perspective on modernity?

  • Embracement

  • Neutral

  • Reflection

  • Ignorance

Answer

The answer lies in Lawrence's concept of "true inwardness." He believed that modernity had led to a separation of the inner and outer life, resulting in superficiality and a loss of authentic human experience. This perspective is evident in his novels, which often feature characters struggling to maintain their authenticity in a modern world that threatens to crush their individuality.
