REJECTION, RETICENCE AND ACCEPTANCE IN GEORGE ORWELL’S “KEEP THE ASPIDISTRA FLYING”

Summary/Abstract: The paper traces Gordon Comstock’s journey through life and his attitude to it, beginning with his initial rejection of the standard way of living and ending with his acceptance of it. It also analyses the fight of other characters in George Orwell’s novel “Keep the Aspidistra Flying” mainly with themselves in order to get over their initial reluctance to do various things. We will show how in the end of the novel they get to accept everything they used to reject and this acceptance brings them relief and a sense of fulfilment.
