The most controversial is that different critics hold different opinions about the thoughts reflected in his book and straightforward description of sex, the reviews are get both praise and blame. In his20years writing career, he concentrated on novel writings throughout his life, and most of his works are heavily autobiographical, his works reflect his ethics, however, this ethics is full of contradictions, this provided a broad space to explore his moral ideals notions of morality.Lawrence starts from criticizing the industrial civilization, and then expanded to criticize the gender relations, marital relations, educational system, western countries’ political system and Christian morality, finally, completely deny the modern civilizations of western countries. He proposes to build his own Rananim Kingdom, and then puts forward a series of standards as a theoretic support for his kingdom. These standards that he presents are also the morality which he seeks. The countermove to fight with the modern of Western civilization by using non-irrational, instinct of life and the free pursuit of raw power. He advocated bloody-consciousness, puts his hands to the individual life and the relations between them, to describe they struggle between the irrational and bloody; their choices and the consequences; the environment they lived is the devastated nature and materialistic society. To confront such unoptimistic reality, he is bound to trace the origin, and believes that the education system constrained human personality, then make people become stereotyped; Western political system is only lighted externally; Christian moral let people move to nothingness, forget the essence of human. The composed of modern civilization, rotting from the inside to the outside. So he gets rid of the interdictions of sexuality, criticize the modern education, exposes the essence of the Western political system institutions, challenges the authority of the Christian morality and until to rebel the modern civilization. At last, he puts forward his own Rananim Kingdom.Lawrence’s critique of modern civilization provide us the best medicine, but it goes too far, his revolt went to the other extreme. He only sees the drawbacks of modern civilization, does exactly the opposite, he seeks the irrational of human and the original vitality of nature. These kinds of actions pushed abandoned things to a savior stage again. Maybe the original intention is good, but the adverse impact can not be ignored.
