本論文旨在以路絲･依希迦黑的性別差異和肉體中的神性的理論來探討勞倫斯的《彩虹》和《戀愛中的女人》，試圖去連結依希迦黑和勞倫斯對於完美的男女關係的理論，勞倫斯和依希迦黑都反對一種併吞的男女關係，勞倫斯的星平衡理論所強調的一種男女關係的平衡與依希迦黑的性別差異和肉體中的神性的理論非常相似，依希迦黑的性別差異所強調的是一種法國哲學家笛卡兒所說的驚嘆的感覺，藉由這種感覺，男女雙方都會將對方視為一個無法被歸併的他者，在這種關係之下男女雙方都能維持自己的主體而且不會強加自己的主觀意識在對方之上，依希迦黑的肉體中的神性的理論強調的是去提升肉體的層次，尤其是女性的肉體，如此一來女性才可以從男性父權社會的禁錮之中解脫，男女雙方在勞倫斯的星平衡理論與依希迦黑的性別差異理論之下達到了一種平衡的關係，而這種關係對依希迦黑而言能使男女雙方都達到神性的狀態，這也是勞倫斯所認為的一種超越的狀態。如此的閱讀方式不僅能使依希迦黑從被歸類為一位本質主義者解套，也能讓勞倫斯擺脫女性主義者的批評。

This thesis studies how Luce Irigaray’s theories of “sexual difference,” and “divinity” could offer a non-phallocentric approach to read D. H. Lawrence’s novels, The Rainbow and Women in Love and how Lawrence’s novels could liberate women from the patriarchal society and create a new revolution in man-woman relationship, namely, Lawrentian theory of “star-equilibrium.”  Lawrence’s theory of star-equilibrium is a way to escape the control of the diseased intellectualism.  Once people are released from the oppression of diseased intellectualism, they will find the divine in the body through which women can be emancipated from patriarchal oppression.  Star-equilibrium is an exemplification of Irigarayan sexual difference in which the partners of opposite sexes can maintain a relationship of both freedom and alliance.  Irigaray’s theory has caused great controversy among contemporary feminists.  But what Irigaray emphasizes is the “sensible transcendental,” which contributes to women’s liberation from the repression of western patriarchal society.
