T1 D.H. Lawrence y The Woman who Rode Away: La imposible conexión entre dos mundos opuestos
A1 González Groba, Constante
AB This essay analyses the symbolism and the meaning of The Woman WhoRode Away, a short story D.H. Lawrence wrote in America in 1924. Likeother works written by Lawrence in the New World, this narrativeconstitutes an attempt at finding a connecting link between the way of lifeof western man and that of the primitive. The hope of building a bridgebetween what Lawrence called the "ordinary personal consciousness" of thewhite man and the "passionate cosmic consciousness" —also called "bloodconsciousness— embodied in the American Indians proved to be a failure.In The Woman Who Rode Away both the imposing landscape of theAmerican Southwest and its fierce and mysterious native inhabitants holdout the promise of a new life, but at the same time manifest themselves asmenacing and destructive. The ambiguous mixture of fascination andaversion experienced by the protagonist of the story seems to be a reflectionof an identical attitude on the part of Lawrence, who was perceptive enoughto see that the substitution of the Indian for the white mode ofconsciousness meant the death of the white race.
