D.H.Lawrence is a great writer and Woman in Love is considered as his masterpiece and one of the undoubted classic ofthe 20tb century. Through his flexible application of symbolism, the novel is presented with fragmentary scenes instead of the usual plots, and a lot of separate and unrelated images are employed to reflect the mental conflicts among the major characters. By analyzing the symbolism in this paper, the author hopes to find the importance of symbolism in strengthening the distinct characteristics, enhancing the development of the plot, and hence the emphasis of the theme of the novel.
