Lawrence's main purpose in writing novels, especially stories after Women in Love, is the attempt to get out of our present life into another. Among them, Women in Love shows the greatest effort to break free from an old life in the struggle to enter a new one. For Lawrence, living a true life meant to enter into another, leaving the old shell. In Women in Love, Aaron's Rod, Kangaroo, The Plumed Serpent, and The Man Who Died, each protagonist struggles to find another way of life, and at the same time endeavors to escape from many kinds of restraints such as old customs, tradition, or social systems. Several of them, just like Lawrence himself, even leaves their own countries ; others abandons their families. Take Birkin in Women in Love, for example. Although he is a school inspector, he lives alone in a mill having no house to live in. He acts and speaks freely, and is not rooted anywhere. Here is also a woman called Ursula who tries to overcome the old bonds. The cardinal discussion here is to examine how they attempt to get out of their old bodies.
