Story of three generations of English middle-class people and their sexual conflicts. The Rainbow chronicles the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family of Nottinghamshire, and is a metaphysical inquiry into the possibilities that human relationships hold amid the uncompromisiing circumstance of industrial culture, which Lawrence continued in Women in Love. Throughout the novel the rainbow symbolises each character's search for self-fulfilment.
