Human life is full of overwhelming experiences like illness, death, injustice, mercy, despair, hope, or love. Each of these experiences continually challenges the meaning of life and therefore often leads us to a struggle with the ultimate questions of our existence.

Human life is full of overwhelming experiences like
illness, death, injustice, mercy, despair, hope, or
love. Each of these experiences continually
challenges the meaning of life and therefore often
leads us to a struggle with the ultimate questions
of our existence. Having already accepted WHO we are
(our roles in society), every one of us eventually
has to come to terms with WHAT we are (making sense
of our roles, our lives, the whole cosmos). At the
heart of this thesis stands the question of how
Godwin s different characters in her novels ''The
Good Husband'' and ''Evensong'' try to come to terms
with WHAT they are. Whether they have an explicit
religious belief or make sense of their existence in
another way, all of them have reached a point in
their lives where they feel overwhelmed by various
circumstances and eventually open themselves up to a
reality beyond their inner boundaries. Their
examples can also help us readers to open ourselves
up to the ultimate questions. By seeing different
ways of both approaching and growing an inner
spirit , we might find our own way to do so.
