Poem 4 - Money Madness - by D. H. Lawrence (Sem IV)



The poet has admonished mankind entire mankind to change its perception and outlook about money. The poet begins expressing his annoyance by terming man’s attitude to money as ‘collective madness’. Each human being is ‘insane’ about money.
He says man is so greedy and insecure about money that he shudders spending even a pound note. He trembles when he has to spend a ten-pound note. He feels money makes us quail.
Man is judged by the amount of money he has. People who have more money, are respected more in society. Those who have less money, they are discriminated against. They are loathed by people, society, and the government.
In order to save ourselves from being discriminated and live respectfully, we must have enough money with us.
The poet’s wish about money is that bread, shelter, and fire should be free for all in all parts of the world.
In the last stanza, he appeals to all men and women that we must become sane about handling money. If continue to be insane about money, soon we shall start killing one another for money.
