When her father passes away, Princess is forced to navigate adult relationships and her sexuality on her own, but her self-imposed repression begins to manifest destructive consequences. A striking examination of human sexuality and virtue, D. H. Lawrence's "The Princess" uses character development and Lawrence's distinctive narrative style to subtly bring to light the intricacies of self-awareness and sexual identity.
