The Love Ethic in Selected Works of Gustave Flaubert, Leo Tolstoy, and D. H. Lawrence
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe "love ethic" is the term which embraces the following relating topics: the solution of gender roles, sexual morality, reproductive practices, and the psychology of love. The three writers present their love ethics both directly and indirectly. However, we can always deduce their ideas and attitudes towards the concepts of femininity and masculinity; pre- and extra-marital sex, and sexual practices within marriage; parenting, contraception, and managing of childbirth; as well as their theories of the psychology of love. This last concept will explain Lawrence's theory of star equilibrium, Flaubert's fantasy of an ideal, unattainable love and its consequences, and the dichotomy in Tolstoy between his view of physical passion and Christian love of a married couple.
