DH Lawrence - Women in love
Character number: 5 (Mare, 2 girls, a man, a locomotive)
There is a crescendo.
The 2 girls are school mistresses.
On a basic level, it's an introduction, a way to focus on the girl's group
hoarsely =
The locomotive is personified
a steed = un étalon
The creature -> less respect
slender = mince
Ironic smile of his picturesque behavior =
Want to show to the mare that he is the master
recoiled = reculer
The locomotive -> makes a lot of noises, might break soon
=> Lot of aliterations!
The all text is built to create a crescendo
"as if wanted to see what could be done" => The locomotive "want to see" what the mare will do. It's personify in a mischievous way, as if played with the mare
"The mare opened her mouth and rose slowly" => Open the Mouth because she's afraid. (Don't say "she's afraid" because the writer wants to make a visual effect)
(chat, chien, chevaux , voiture => Feminine in english)
1st : Physical reaction, then emotional reaction
"The man" & "the two girls" in the same sentence = the two girls are associated to the mare's emotion
Even his smile, his face doesn't move = concentration
a hoof -> hooves (sabots)
Mare - Gudrun
She feels attracted to him "penetrate"

Ursula =Outside herself
Gudrun = Doesn't want her sister to criticized Gerald
The mare transformation! (l.36)
Iambic Pentameter "Yet he seemed calm as a ray of cold sunshine."
"one after the other, one after the other" =>
"ing" forms, slowly, etc. => slow action
Mechanically => Mare loses her wild, she takes one the wild of Gerald
Gerald become part of "her body", like a centaur.
(Ursula) Even she is opposed to Gerald, she understands him.
"She's bleeding" -> visual signification of pain
Maybe sexual rape
