I think it made sense for me in that Lawrence, like David, was immersed in and fascinated by another culture. And was in a sense attempting to become a part of that culture while maintaining a sort of godlike distance.
As for Elizabeth Shaw, I always liked the theory that she was named after Liz Shaw on Doctor Who.
