OK, I know I'm probably going to get a flaming for this, but I just read Lady Chatterley's Lover for the first time and Have come away feeling upset and confused about Mellors' treatment of LC.
I can't help but think he is an opportunistic rapist who didn't seek consent before having sex on LC.
AND, is it just me jumping to ridiculous conclusions, but doesn't he anally rape her during their last night together before she goes away?
please tell me I am being ridiculous and totally misreading the novel, because I was expecting to read something tender and beautiful and lovely, and instead I found something else!
