The Princess

The Princess" chronicles the life of Mary Henrietta "Princess" Uruqhart, whose life is dependent on the affections and sermons of her mad father. When her father passes away, Princess is forced to navigate adult relationships and her sexuality on her own, but her self-imposed repression begins to manifest destructive consequences. A striking examination of human sexuality and virtue, D. H. Lawrence's "The Princess" uses character development and Lawrence's distinctive narrative style to subtly bring to light the intricacies of self-awareness and sexual identity.
