Graham Greene

The Heart of Matter (1948) by Graham Greene is a novel that explores moral dilemmas, faith, and human frailty in a colonial setting. The story is set in a West African town during World War II. The main character, Major Henry Scobie, a British police officer, faces internal and external conflicts. Scobie is a man of deep Catholic faith, but also a sense of duty, which leads him to make moral compromises.

Scobie is married to Louise, whom he does not love passionately, but feels a responsibility to. When Louise leaves, Scobie begins an affair with Helen, a young widow. His faith and guilt over his adultery eat away at him. At the same time, he faces corruption at work and the pressures of colonial society. In order to secure the money for Louise's return, he engages in illegal activities, which deepens his moral decline.

Greene masterfully depicts Scobie's struggle between duty, love, and faith. The novel explores themes of sin, redemption, and the impossibility of escaping one's own conscience. Scobie's internal conflict culminates in a tragic ending, where his desire for righteousness leads to self-destruction. Greene's style is introspective, with an emphasis on the psychological depth and moral complexity of the characters.
