Kraj ljubavne priče

Maurice Bendrix struggles with his own feelings; he struggles with his jealousy because he knows he loves a woman he will never have, and he also struggles with God, whom he will eventually meet at the end of the novel. Henry Miles, as a deceived husband, struggles exclusively with himself and his listlessness and lethargy, because he feels no physical desire for his wife. Ultimately, Sarah is torn between her husband, to whom he can only be a friend due to his lack of any emotions, and Maurice, whom she loves passionately but who will never become her husband. From this weepy, heartbreaking story, GRAHAM GREENE has made a mature, meditative study of the dangers of passion and the even greater danger of the lack of any emotions; of questions of faith and the miracles that are possible only when we are no longer in the jaws of contingency.
