Library's collection Library's IT development CancelD.H Lawrence is a novelist who is curious with human behavior and relates
the social situation into the background of his novels. The Rainbow is Lawrence?s only
feminist novel that talks about women?s status changes from a housewife to a career
woman. Women demands equal treatment and independence in every aspects of life. In
the statement of the problem, I am curious to know why Ursula decides to struggle in
achieving her independence and what struggle she is involved in. The purpose of this
study is to analyze factors that cause Ursula to fight for her independence. I will also
analyze the struggles she is involved in. I use literary approach such as characterization
and conflict. Furthermore, I also use Jaggar?s theories of liberal feminism to identify the
idea of feminism in the novel. In the analysis, Ursula Brangwen?s independence is
caused by her status as the eldest child and her parents? relationship that influences her to
be independent. I also analyze Ursula?s struggles to achieve her education, job and living
single. Every woman has a dream about her future and sometimes she has to choose
which is the first priority. Every decision she makes will make other people happy or not
but life is determined not by other people. Therefore, every decision is important and
affects the future.
