Compare Happiness and Life Between D. H. Lawrence's "You Touched Me" and

Friedrich Nietzche's "The Use and Abuse of History Taken From The Twilight Of

the Idols."


INTRODUCTION


     In this paper, I won't stick to only one topic. I will compare different

topics, such as happiness and life  between two romantic writers, D. H. Lawrence

and Friedrich Nietzsche from D. H. Lawrence's You touched me and Friedrich

Nietzche's The use and abuse of history taken from The twilight of the Idols. I

will start talking about life and happiness by giving my own little definition

of each of these two terms.


LIFE

     Life: one word, many meanings. Life: one word, one precious thing.

     We see life in a total different way by the two writers. Life,  in D. H.

Lawrence's You touched me, is one, short and precious thing. We see life through

the eyes of a dying father and his two daughters, who loves their father a lot

and an adopted son enrolled in the army. The father continuously fights his

disease, battling to stay alive. We see life as a fragile, vulnerable thing. It

can also vanish unexpectedly. What I mean by "life can also vanish unexpectedly"

is that you never know when something terrible could happen to you and see it

taken away.

     Friedrich Nietzshe explains us a lot more his perception of life.

Unfortunately, I didn't understand most of the things he meant, but I will

explain what I think I understood. Nietzshe describes life with the help of a

man and a beast. The beast always forgets what he wants to say and what he said.

This behaviour is also called forgetfulness. He (Nietzshe) claims that [life in

any true sense is absolutely impossible without forgetfulness]. He also says

something about death. [And when death brings at last the desired forgetfulness,

it abolishes life and being together, and sets the seal on the knowledge that

"being" is merely a continual "has been", a thing that lives by denying and

destroying and contradicting itself]. He also mentions a universal law about

living things. [A living thing can only be healthy, strong and productive within

a certain horizon: if it be incapable of drawing one round itself, or too

selfish to lose its own view in another's, it will come to an untimely end.]


HAPPINESS


     Happiness: everybody's ultimate goal. Unfortunately, happiness is very

hard goal to reach.

      D. H. Lawrence demonstrate the failure of reaching happiness through

money and other goods. Emmie and Matilda were two girls of a rich man. But these

two girls were not quite happy. They couldn't get married because they were

expecting too much of men. Their (Matilda and Emmie) minds we
