Lawrence`s dualism is one of the central principles of his theory of aesthetics, particularly those related to his characters. His dualistic world is composed of two polarities of dark and light which symbolize spirit and flesh respectively. These two polarized worlds are always prone to seek balance, or conciliation by menas of a spark of Holy Ghost. There are many common factors between Lawrence`s dualism and the oriental one of dark and light. All of the characters can be grouped along a spectrum of dark, light and the third-type which contains both properties of dark and light from the point of view of Lawrence`s dualism. Here I wish to explore types of the dualistic characters in the Rainbow and his early short stories and novellas. In the Rainbow, Tom with blood intimacy who has dark properties unites himself with Lydia of light properties who came from the outer world, and eventually they establish a star equilibrium. Anna marries Will. Anna is the daylight and Will shadow, and in their marriage the union of opposites achieves a partial fulfillment, but for Ursula and Skrebensky there is no such fullness in union. He is a character of light properties, full of social duty, and desires to engulf Ursula who is the third type character of half_dark properties like Paul in Sons and Lovers. Skrebensky has nothing to bring out a union with Ursula. Alone therefore, she has to harmonize the dark with her own light before cleansing and regeneration may come to her. It is this that she tries to achieve in the closing pages. Although class separateness is a main motif of "Daughters of the Vicar," Lawrence focuses on the ideal union of man and woman beyond the convention and artificial morality. What unites Lousia and Alfred is the vital power of life, "the jet of life" which both of them posses abundantly as the dark properties whereas Mary is obsessed with class consciousness under the harsh upbringing of her parents. In other words Lawrence is dramatizing the theme of upper class sterility and the saving of an upper class woman by the vitality and superior human values of a working man. In "the Love among the Haystacks," it is warm-hearted tenderness that can come to fulfill balance in Geoffrey and Lidia while on the other hand it is this tenderness that is apparently missing in the encounter between Maurice and the governess. In "Ordor of Chrysanthemums" the chrysanthemums play a major role in the theme of this short story.
