During the early years of World War II, two boys, Gene and Phineas, embark on a journey of friendship and struggles in A Separate Peace by John Knowles. Setting was used by Knowles to inflict conflicts on every level. Symbols played an enormous role in how the problems worked out. Knowles uses these devices to apply the theme of inner war. The setting of war was used indirectly. It was really about the war of a boy and his transformation to adulthood. Gene was shadowed by the life of Finny so he decided Finny was his enemy. He thought Finny had purposely ruined his grade so he could be above Gene.
