Annotation

On Frederic and Catherine’s failure to create meaning in their meaningless world. Based largely on traditional Christian concepts, their order fails to fill the void because it lacks a spiritual afterlife and the means for regeneration. Discusses the novel’s contrast between the spiritual realm and the biological world.
