My Interpretation about Book '' The Sense of an Ending''
Here i gave my interpretation about the novel The Sense of an Ending. And all these points which i have described here are based on my class notes because i didn't read this original book. At a first moment i feel that this novel is full of philosophy. We an see ans of Adrian and his discussion about History with the teacher.
This novel is deals with psychological approach. we can see the mindset of all characters like Tony , Veronica , Adrian, all these three are like main characters and other characters also played good role to create twist in the novel .
In this novel we can see that whatever we believed about History is fully destroyed by Adrian Finn he told to teacher that history is written by victorious and it is illusion of defeated peoples and then we can come to know that our belief about history is wrong because we believed that history is true but we don't know what was the truth at that time.
When we read the novel we comes to know about the different things like God, Karmic philosophy, lack of faith, lack of love. Blood money is also the important part of the novel. Here we saw the word Blood money which has deep meaning and this words have deep meaning like the money earned by killing the innocent people. here kills means not kill psychically but killed someone's emotions and feelings .Veronica sent one mail to Tony in this mail she used one phrase that is blood money. She used this word because, when they fallow in love with each other that time Veronica’s father offered him handsome amount of money. After that there was broke up between them and after this Veronica fall in love with Adrian Finn who was Tony's friend.At other side Tony got married and his wife Margaret was like his friend although she known all these things about her husband and so it money which he earned but it was blood money for Veronica because he hurt her lot.
The novel deal with one code that is like mathematical equation a2+ V+ a1 x S = b so it is like confusion to us and we can't understand any thing but when we deeply think about it then we can know that the real thing is Junior Adrian is the step brother of Veronica and the son of Adrian and Sarah. Sarah is the mother of Veronica. But Tony thinks that the junior Adrian is the son of Veronica and Adrian. J. Adrian is the abnormal child and he think that he gave curse to Veronica and Adrian‘s relationship. So he thinks god will punished them. But reality is different from the code. Sarah had the diary but actually Adrian wrote his diary for Tony. This diary he gave to Sarah because he had affair with her And he admitted in the diary that he was happy in his last days. He gave his diary for Tony because he wrote a letter for Adrian and letter creates lots of mistake. And the diary is the answer of the letter. so he wants that diary.
when the novel is going to about middle part we can see that Adrian was happy in his last few days about what he got in his life but he was also suffering from trauma because he felt guilty for what he did ? And he did that because their one friend named Robson also commits suicide because in his school life he made his girlfriend pregnant and because of it Robson was feels guilty, and because of that guilty he commits suicide. when we saw the life of Adrian who also lives with hidden identity and that is he is the father of J.Adrian and he commits suicide. Veronica suffering in society because of Junior Adrian he was abnormal so to take care she lived alone .
In this novel Julian Barns has mentioned and described Veronica's life with different struggle because she had sacrificed her own life for her step brother and also she lost her both love like Tony and Adrian both.
We can say that this novel's narrative technique is very different and we can't rely on this technique it is unreliable because whatever we come to know is form Tony's points of view and he himself doubt on him then how can we trust on the Narrator because narrator himself doubt on his memory who knows that what was really at that time ? And when we read or study this novel at that time the question raised in our mind that either this is true ?or it is story which is created by narrator Tony Himself which tells goody goody things for only him?or what had happened then all the Events which are described by the writer is right or only imagination?
So at the end there are many doubts which can we feel by our mind.
