A Study of Scobie's Psyche in Graham Greene's The Heart of the Matter

This paper is a study of Scobie?s Psyche in Graham Greene?s The Heart of the Matter. Graham Green is a widely acclaimed British novelist (1904-1991). Greene is among a number of twentieth century novelists, emerging out of two world wars, questioning the source of evil and the existence of God in a barbaric age. His fiction, spanning seven decades and fifty novels, is characterized by its outward political intrigue and its internal theological, psychological and personal struggles. The character selected for the observation, invites the attention of the readers into the depth of his constant mental agony before reaching the end. Graham Greene has depicted the mental agony of Scobie with utmost care and Scobie?s character-sketch in the paper gives a real account of the same.
