Biocentric idea means that all living things are considered as equally important in a system. Nature can be regarded not only as the object of development or exploitation but as the place which has an interdependent symbiotic relationship with men, so we need to make an effort to maintain a harmonious relationship with nature. Lawrence has deplored the severance of the relation between human beings and nature with the process of life going against the order of life. He suggests ‘blood-intimacy’ as replacing consciousness or will to get over the severance and bring the life force to itself, and describes the aspect of coexistence with human beings and nature keeping life order in his novels. And he puts an importance on the spirit of place and the native. He thinks there is a unique spirit in every place connected with the native’s life directly and very closely. So it’s the essential thing to understand the spirit of the place and be a real native. This paper is an attempt to find the native in Lady Chatterley’s Lover and reconsider the spirit of our place.
