?ANALYSIS OF SHORT STORY ENTITTLED “THE HORSE DEALER’S DAUGHTER” BY D. H. LAWRENCE (1885-1930) A. Tittle The title of the story “The Horse Dealer’s Daughter” is written by D. H. Lawrence.

She is struggle with her loneliness every day. C. Theory To analysis this story is using humanistic psychology. Humanistic psychology is one theory of personality.
