Quote #10
Yet, she saw at once, he could go anywhere. He had a native breeding which was really much nicer than the cut-to-pattern class thing. (18.42)
Mellors: you can take him anywhere. He's got something even better than class status, which is natural breeding. This is a relief—Lawrence isn't proposing anything radical like tearing down social boundaries. He's actually reinforcing them by making them "natural." In Lawrence's world, you can't even learn to be classy; you're either born that way or you're not.
