The Separate Peace
A Separate Peace is a novel written by John Knowles, published in the year 1959. ... The title A Separate Peace
refers to the peace Gene feels after recovering from the guilt caused by Finny’s fall, the
peace at Devon School, and the ultimate peace that Finny finds. ... Gene is finally able to accept his guilt and find peace after the
mock trial held by Brinker and after Gene talks to Finny while he is in the hospital. ... In the
end, Gene accepts that he can only be himself and act accordingly; through this, he is able
to find peace. ... The Super Suicide Society of the Summer
Session and blitzball are further examples of peace at Devon. ... Since war has not touched Devon,
it can be considered a separate peace away from the world. ... Although ultimately, Finnys death allows him to achieve an inner peace; he
will never again have to face the actuality of being unable to play sports.
