"Saint’s Progress" by John Galsworthy is a novel that explores the profound impact of World War I on individuals and society, focusing on themes of spiritual crisis, pacifism, and moral dilemmas. The story centers around John Lavender, a middle-aged clergyman. As the war rages on, John Lavender experiences a spiritual crisis, questioning the role of religion in a world torn apart by violence and destruction. His pacifist beliefs put him at odds with the prevailing sentiment of patriotism and duty to the nation.Galsworthy uses John’s journey to examine the broader spiritual and moral dilemmas faced by society in the aftermath of World War I. The novel reflects on the disillusionment and search for meaning that many experienced during this period. Family dynamics also play a critical role in social change and the once-clear distinctions between right and wrong, faith and doubt, are now blurred, reflecting a society in flux as it seeks to rebuild and redefine itself in the wake of profound upheaval."Saint’s Progress" is a thoughtful and introspective work that captures the emotional and spiritual turmoil of a world and the novel examines the impact of the war on individual and collective identity.
