Klappentext zu "Coming To Terms With What We Are"
Human life is full of overwhelming experiences like illness, death, injustice, mercy, despair, hope, or love. Each of these experiences continually challenges the meaning of life and therefore often leads us to a struggle with the ultimate questions of our existence. Having already accepted WHO we are (our roles in society), every one of us eventually has to come to terms with WHAT we are (making sense of our roles, our lives, the whole cosmos). At the heart of this thesis stands the question of how Godwin's different characters in her novels 'The Good Husband' and 'Evensong' try to come to terms with WHAT they are. Whether they have an explicit religious belief or make sense of their existence in another way, all of them have reached a point in their lives where they feel overwhelmed by various circumstances and eventually open themselves up to a reality beyond their inner boundaries. Their examples can also help us readers to open ourselves up to the ultimate questions. By seeing different ways of both approaching and growing an 'inner spirit', we might find our own way to do so.
