In The Rainbow, the story of Ursula Brangwen concludes with her remaining alone after she realizes that her lover, the soldier Anton Skrebensky, is too conventional for her needs.12
Rather than entering into a marriage that would leave her unsatisfied, Ursula chooses to end their relationship. The novel closes with the appearance of a rainbow, which serves as a symbol of hope for her future. Her journey continues in the subsequent novel, Women in Love, where she eventually marries Rupert Birkin.12
