Status Updates From Lady Chatterley's Lover

“An individual may emerge from the masses. But the emergence doesn’t alter the mass. The masses are unalterable. It is one of the most momentous facts of social science. Panem et circenses!”
-Clifford

Mellors is the absolute antithesis of Clifford. He has no desire to rule over anyone or anything. Where Flaubert uses nature to echo Emma's disillusionment and the slow rot of her provincial life, Lawrence uses it to celebrate Connie's rescue from the mechanical, deadened modern world.
Since you are right in the middle of Connie's "Spring," it makes for an incredible contrast to Emma’s tragic "Autumn."
