White (novel) - Thematic Elements

Thematic Elements

Eschatological Implications: The return of Justin is an analogy of the return of Christ, similar to Aslan and Aslan's How, only in this case being in the desert of the other earth.

True Love: Between Thomas and Chelise, it is shown what actual love looks like and how that works itself out. Their relationship also symbolizes Christ's/God's love for humanity.

Famous quotes containing the word elements:

    “psychologist
    It is through friendships that teenagers learn to take responsibility, provide support, and give their loyalty to non- family members. It is also in teenage friendships that young people find confidants with whom to share thoughts and feelings that they are not comfortable sharing with their parents. Such sharing becomes one of the elements of true intimacy, which will be established later.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)
