The question of whether Lawrence's metaphysics can be found in his early novels is still a matter of controversy. The aim of this paper is to clarify the first development of Lawrence's metaphysics in his early works, The White Peacock and Sons and Lovers.The important point to note is that both the protagonists of these two novels, Cyril and Paul, execute paintings of Nethermere. This might suggest that Paul's painting is a repetition of Cyril's. However, their paintings are not the same. While Cyril's painting is a mere representation, Paul's is a repetition incorporating difference, which, as Gilles Deleuze says, is the antithesis of representation or“repetition of the Same.”Taking these points as a basis, this paper shows. that this difference is the metaphysical difference offered in Lawrence's work. Thus the world of representation that has been presented up to that point in Sons and Lovers is overturned by Paul's painting, which conceals difference under its repetition.
