The author attempts to prove, as others have, that there is a theme throughout the works of D.H. Lawrence that corresponds closely with the facts of his life and personality. Weiss cites passages from nine of his works, gives a few biographical details of Lawrence, and describes the recurrent 'triangle' theme of two men and a woman. There is always a younger and an older man and the two compete for the woman who, when approached sexually, invariably becomes a castration threat. In some of Lawrence's stories the action leads to murder of one of the men, in others to a reconciliation between the men, leaving the woman alone. The homosexual conflict may be entirely in the form of cruelty or thinly disguised sexualized physical assault, or it may turn into an obsessional state with the man incapacitated by anxiety as he gets close to coitus with the woman.
