William Trevor's "Fools Of Fortune"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Set in 1918 Ireland, William Trevor's "Fools of Fortune" is a dramatically moving story of young love, insofar as the ongoing Anglo-Irish fighting serves as a conduit between and among three generations of the same family. The author is quite successful at combining such elements as political intrigue, love and self-exile as they relate to the less obvious element of human existence amidst overwhelming strife. The overall point of Trevor's story is twofold: to question the reason for sociopolitical conflict and to demonstrate how love can flourish even in the worst conditions. No additional sources cited.
