What did DH Lawrence write? Mellors is the gamekeeper on Clifford Chatterley's estate, Wragby. He is aloof, sarcastic, intelligent and noble. He was born near Wragby, and worked as a blacksmith until he ran off to the army to escape an unhappy marriage. In the army he rose to become a commissioned lieutenant--an unusual position for a member of the working classes--but was forced to leave the army because of a case of pneumonia, which left him in poor health.
Disappointed by a string of unfulfilling love affairs, Mellors lives in quiet isolation, from which he is redeemed by his relationship with Connie: the passion unleashed by their lovemaking forges a profound bond between them.
At the end of the novel, Mellors is fired from his job as gamekeeper and works as a laborer on a farm, waiting for a divorce from his old wife so he can marry Connie.

Connie's husband. Clifford Chatterley is a minor nobleman who becomes paralyzed from the waist down during World War I. As a result of his injury, Clifford is impotent. He retires to his familial estate, Wragby, where he becomes first a successful writer, and then a powerful businessman. But the gap between Connie and him grows ever wider; obsessed with financial success and fame, he is not truly interested in love, and she feels that he has become passionless and empty.

Clifford represents everything that this novel despises about the modern English nobleman: he is a weak, vain man, but declares his right to rule the lower classes, and he soullessly pursues money and fame through industry and the meaningless manipulation of words. His impotence is symbolic of his failings as a strong, sensual man.

He's interested in Lady Chatterley, but really only in her relationship to other men. In fact she says at one point that she's just relieved to be free of women: "Ah!
How awful they were, women! Second, there are no names. Lady Chatterley isn't a name; it's a title. And "lover" certainly isn't a name. That's a point that Lawrence makes multiple times. Actually, Mellors's first name is only mentioned once or twice at all, and Connie has a hard time with him at first because she thinks he's not "quite individual enough; he might be the same with any woman as he had been with her.
It really wasn't personal. She was only really a female to him"
