This paper is an attempt to examine the opposing relationship between eros and thanatos in D.H. Lawrence's last novel Lady Chatterley's Lover. In this study, eros will be seen as a “power cable” which integrates the self and unites individuals. This is in contrast with the thanatotic forces which disintegrate, separate and annihilate. Lawrence urged that man should establish a pure, new, and perfected relationship with all the universe. In his ideal world, everything in life must be in one living continuum with the whole universe. In this sense, Lady Chatterley's Lover embodies the author's ideal.
