The End of the Affair by Graham Greene .PDF

„I love him and I’ll do anything if you’ll make him alive… I’ll give him up forever, only let him be alive with a chance… People can love each other without seeing each other, can’t they, they love You all their lives without seeing You”.

Bendrix, as evidenced by his ability to tell the story, is not dead, merely unconscious, and so Sarah must keep her promise. She breaks off the relationship without giving a reason, leaving Bendrix mystified and angry. The only explanation he can think of is that she’s left him for another man. It isn’t until years later, when he hires a private detective to ascertain the truth, that he learns of her impassioned vow. Sarah herself comes to understand her move through a strange rationalisation. Writing to God in her journal, she says:

„You willed our separation, but he [Bendrix] willed it too. He worked for it with his anger and his jealousy, and he worked for it with his love. For he gave me so much love, and I gave him so much love that soon there wasn’t anything left, when we’d finished, but You”.

It’s as though the pull toward faith were inevitable, if incomprehensible–perhaps as punishment for her sin of adultery. In her final years, Sarah’s faith only deepens, even as she remains haunted by the bombing and the power of her own attraction to God. Set against the backdrop of a war-ravaged city, The End of the Affair is equally haunting as it lays forth the question of what constitutes love in troubling, unequivocal terms. –Melanie Rehak
