The purpose here is to demonstrate how much deliberation is given to the characterization of Gerald through a comparative study of The First Women in Love and Women in Love. Gerald's inner deficiency is carefully shown in the chapter "In the Train" and his dangerous quality of mind is more strongly depicted in "Water-Party" in the final version of Women in Love. Loving affection between Gerald and Birkin is described more positively in Birkin's proposition of "Blutbrudershaft" to Gerald in "Man to Man." A more significant change is seen in "Gladiatorial" of the final edition. In the first version, Birkin only blurts out "Blutbruderschaft" with no further reference, but in reality he proposes it to Gerald in the final. Furthermore, Birkin's confession of love to Gerald in the last chapter "Snowed-Up" shows the author's obsession with "another love." It is clear that more of the author's attention is directed toward the character development of the Gerald figure in Women in Love, which gives evidence of the reason why Lawrence revised the first edition.}, pages = {245--260}, title = {Two Versions of Women in Love : with Special Reference to Gerald}, volume = {13}, year = {2006}, yomi = {ナカヤマ, モトフミ} }
