What to Focus On

  • Lawrence connects literature with lived human experience.
  • He opposes narrow, divided ideas of the self.
  • The essay insists on the value of embodied life.

  • The hand is part of me alive.
  • The pen is not alive.
  • Finger-nails mark the boundary between living and non-living.

  • The parson represents religious abstraction.
  • The philosopher represents pure thought and infinity.
  • The scientist reduces the person to pieces.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Lawrence thinks the human being is mainly a mind, soul, or spirit living inside the body.

The hand is just a mechanical tool, and only the brain is truly alive.

The boundary between life and non-life is the fingertips in general, not the finger-nails specifically.
