![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Gerard and Gudrun are torn apart by sorrow and the latter's flirting with the sculptor Loerke in the Alps while the four central characters holiday together. Ursula and Rupert, meanwhile, are married, and the novel continues to explore their happier relationship. Gerard takes over the running of the mine from his father but his initially strong position is weakened by his relationship with Gudrun that in time is made difficult by an emptiness in Gerard. He is weighted down by the deaths that have occurred in his family (he accidentally caused his brother's death at an early age and feels guilty when his sister too dies, by drowning). Gerard Crich, a friend of Birkin, is the other main character. Ursula, a teacher herself, is in love with the school inspector Rupert Birkin who is initially involved with Hermione Roddice (a dominating lady with whom he is not happy). Two sisters, Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, and their relationships dominate the novel. ![]()
