In the medieval era, religion indeed played a crucial role in shaping English
literature,particularly evident in the transition from Old English to Middle English. Old
English literature, primarily influenced by

-Christianity after the conversion of Anglo

Saxons,featured religious themes

"prominently. Works like "Beowulf

incorporated Christian elements alongside pagan traditions, reflecting the blending of

beliefs.Monastic scribes preserved many religious texts, such as manuscripts of the Bible
.and hagiographies,contributing to the dissemination of Christian ideas
The transition to Middle English saw a continuation of religious themes but also an
emergence of secular works.While religious texts like "The Canterbury Tales"by Geoffrey
Chaucer retained religious undertones, they also explored secular topics, depicting everyday
life and human experiences. This shift reflected societal changes, including the rise of the
merchant class and urbanization,leading to a broader audience beyond the clergy and
.aristocracy

The English Renaissance marked a significant departure from the dominance of religion in
literature. Humanism, with its focus on human potential and secular learning,challenged
traditional religious authority. Writers like William Shakespeare
In essence, while religion heavily influenced both Old and Middle English literature, the
transition to secularism during the Renaissance faciliated the exploration of diverse themes
.and perspectives,marking a significant evolution in English literary tradition

:Novel 1-

Graham Greene, renowned for his insightful exploration of the human condition and the
moral complexities of the modern world,stands as one of the most perceptive and
.prophetic voices of the 20th century

Through his prolific literary career

spanning novels, short stories, plays, and essays,Greene tackled themes of faith,morality,
politics, and the existential dilemmas of his time. His keen observation of society and
penetrating analysis of human behavior allowed him to
anticipate and comment on the turbulent events and moral ambiguities that characterized
.the 20th century

Greene's prophetic voice is perhaps most evident in his portrayal of the moral ambiguity
and spiritual conflict inherent in the modern world. In works such as "The Power and the
Glory" and "The Heart of the Matter,"Greene delves into the inner struggles of his
protagonists, who grapple with questions of faith,morality, and the consequences of their
actions. Through characters like the whisky priest in "The Power and the Glory," Greene
explores the complexities of belief and the paradoxical nature of redemption, offering
.profound insights into the human condition

Moreover,Greene's prescient
understanding of the political landscape of his time is reflected in his works set against the
backdrop of espionage,revolution, and international intrigue. In novels like "The Quiet
American" and "Our Man in Havana,"Greene explores the morally murky world of
espionage and the machinations of power,offering searing critiques of imperialism,Cold War
politics, and the ethics of interventionism. His astute commentary on the geopolitical
tensions of the 20th century remains relevant in today's world,where issues of foreign
.policy, conflict, and geopolitical maneuvering continue to shape global affairs

Furthermore, Greene's exploration of the existential crisis and moral decay in the modern
world anticipates the cultural and philosophical shifts that defined the latter half of the 20th
century.In novels like "Brighton Rock" and "The End of the Affair,"Greene examines the dark
underbelly of human nature, exposing the
hypocrisy,corruption, and moral degradation that lurk beneath the surface of society. His

portrayal of characters struggling to find meaning and purpose in a world devoid of

absolutes resonates with the existential angst of the post-war era, making Greene a

.prophetic voice for his generation and beyond

In conclusion, Graham Greene's perceptive insight into the human condition, coupled with

his astute analysis of the moral and political complexities of the 20th century,establishes

him as one of the most prophetic voices of his time. Through his compelling narratives and

multidimensional characters, Greene transcends the confines of his era, offering timeless

reflections on the enduring dilemmas of the human experience. As we continue to grapple

with the challenges of the modern world, Greene's works serve as a poignant reminder of

the power of literature to illuminate the darkness and offer glimpses of redemption in an

.uncertain world

protagonist,Marlow, as he ventures deeper into the heart of Africa. The river symbolizes the
unknown, the primal,and the mysterious forces that lurk beneath the surface of colonial
enterprise. Additionally,it highlights the destructive impact of imperialism and the
exploitation of African lands and people by European powers.Throughout the novel, Conrad
uses the Congo River to explore themes of moral ambiguity, existential despair, and the
clash

.between civilization and savagery
