Description
This thesis demonstrates the dichotomy of opposing political and theological beliefs in two novels of Graham Greene. The journey motif in both the whiskey priest of The Power and the Glory and the Monsignor in Monsignor Quixote parallel the author's development from the youthful political zealot determined to right universal wrongs to the mature acquiescent accepting a unified world as an impossibility. In Monsignor Quixote, Greene depicts a spirit of compassion enlarged by exposure and acceptance of diametrically opposite beliefs. The friendship of the Catholic and Communist enable each to acknowledge the validity of the other's ideas. Their dreams function as concrete and abstract elements in plot development and characterization. This study extrapolates the paradoxical fact of this author's personality as it reveals the serious nature of the young and old Greene, then delights us with the lighter side, thus sensitizing us to elements both tragic and comic.
