Thinking Activity: The Sense of an Ending

Welcome friends!!

Here I wrote thinking activity given by Dr Dilip Barad sir. Click here to visit sir's blog.

Title of the Novel – the Sense of an Ending:

The title is borrowed from a book of the same name by Frank Kermode first published in 1967, subtitled Studies in the Theory of Fiction, the stated aim of which is "making sense of the ways we try to make sense of our lives". Kermode's book is a well received piece of literary criticism.

The Title of the novel The Sense of an Ending depicts ending of two lives Robson and Adrian and on the other hand it also suggests that this is an ending of journey of Tony too as he is very close to the ending of his life. Hence At last it can be clarified that the title of the novel is absolutely appropriate though it is difficult book to evaluate but up to some extent we can say that Julian Barnes has chosen relevant title. By the time one reaches the end, it is not just the novel but the title itself that inspires the reader; not just the end of a life but how a story is told. 

"Waiting for the end but end never come"

This is the imminent naturally part of something existing and throughtfull.
