- Abstract
This paper discusses the religious impact on Greene’ works and the conversion from Orthodoxy to the Roman Catholicism. Especially in the trilogy novels called: Brighton Rock 1938, The Power and The Glory 1940 and The Heart of the Matter 1948. This study reveals the urge insisting of Graham Greene’s desire to insert and restore the importance of human act through the religious sense to the English novel, whereas the decline of moral was much evident in that era. This research examines the central theme in the selected novels and applies the (moral good theories), the theme is the conflict between good and evil. This theme developed with Greene’s acceptance and obsession with the Roman Catholic faith. This acceptance can be considered as a turning point in his profession, as well as his marriage from a Catholic girl Vivien Dayrell-Browning contributed to his obsession. Eventually, the religious sense is inseparable from Greene’s novels and its effect is quite evident on his literary works.
