“Ticket, please” is one of D.H. Lawrence’s early short stories. The background of the story is set during World War I, when the male protagonist Joseph stays at the station to work due to leg disease. His love and hate relationship with the female protagonist Annie and other female ticket sellers unfolds from then on. After experiencing Joseph’s abandonment, Annie joined forces with other female ticket sellers who had the same experience with her to seek revenge against Joseph. The image of “hat” runs through the entire text of “Tickets, please” and appears 12 times, forming a hidden thread in the story. This article will start from two aspects: the portrayal of the personalities of the main characters Annie and Joseph by the “hat” and impact of hats on characters’ emotional development, revealing the different views on sex and love between the genders in the context of industrial civilization.
