Abstract:The disintegrated individuals in D. H. Lawrence’s novellas reflect the contradiction of existence and nothingness in the modern society. Their existence is of facticity, in company with a search for meaning. The key to facticity is how to exist while the meaning is determined by the mode of existence. An analysis of the aesthetic, ethical and religious mode of existence reveals the disintegrated individuals’lack of meaning in lifenothingness. Since the nothingness of existence cannot counteract its facticity, and cannot eradicate the transcendence nature of humanbeings, the disintegrated individuals are the modern Sisyphus, whose merit lies in the transcendence of existence’s facticity in endless vain efforts.
