ā— The Equations
ā— Letters and E-mails
ā— Learning Outcome (So What?) and (What now?)
ā— Works Cited
Title
Title
ā— Barnes borrowed the title from Frank Kermodeā€™s book
of the same name.
ā— A tale or study of reflection and reminiscence
ā— Jonathan Cape argues that novel is concerned with what
Kermode calls ā€˜problem of making sense of the way we
make sense of the worldā€™.[1]
ā— The sense one gets here: There is great unrest.
ā— Is it really the end?
Onomastics
ā— Etymological origins of the charactersā€™ names
ā— Anthony (Tony): Derived from the Latin Antonius, an
old Roman family name of unknown etymology.
ā€œPricelessā€ and ā€œof inestimable worthā€ are popular folk
definitions of the name[2].
ā— Adrian: Derived from Latin Adrianus or Hadrianus
which literally means ā€˜of the Adriaticā€™.[2]
ā— Veronica:- Greek: Berenike - French: Veronique[2]
ā— The popular "Saint Veronica" (not in the Roman Martyrology)
traditionally was a pious woman who wiped the face of Christ
when he fell carrying the cross to Calvary. The image of his face
remained on the cloth, and the "veil of Veronica" has been
preserved in Rome from the 8c. Her popularity rose with the
propagation of the Stations of the Cross, and this connection led
to the folk-etymology derivation of the name from
Latin vera "true" + Greek eikon "image.ā€œ[2]
ā— Does the onomastic study prove anything?
The Diary Pages
ā— Mrs Sarah Ford leaves Tony Adrianā€™s Diary. However,
heā€™s never able to read it.
ā— How do we understand or read a diary?
ā— ā€œDiaries may well give some kind of glimpse into the past,
but that glimpse, the novel suggests, will always be a
partial, biased, and even deceptive one.ā€[3]
The Equations
ā— b = s ā€“ v Ɨ+ a1
ā— a2 + v + a1 x s = b
ā— The equations are Adrianā€™s attempts to make
sense of his situation.
ā— ā€œYou just donā€™t get it, do you? You never did,
and you never will.ā€ ā€“ Veronica to Tony
Letters and Emails
ā— The change in communicative mediums
ā— Email= marker of the beginning of the digital age
ā— A letter and its consequences
ā— An e-mail and its reply
Learning Outcome (So What?) and
(What now?)
ā— The novel makes you reflect on your own life: your faults,
your words and actions
ā— Can we live or end life without guilt and regret?
ā— There can be numerous endings if we try to make sense of
how people make sense of the world.
ā— ā€˜The end of any likelihood of changeā€™

Robbie Collin reviews The Sense Of An Ending
"The more you learn, the less you fear. 'learn' not in the sense of academic study, but in
the practical understanding of life."
(The sense of an ending - page 82)
"How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust,embellish,make sly cuts?
And the longer life goes on,the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind
us that our life is not life,merely the story we have told about our life. Told to other, but-
mainly -to ourselves."
(The sense of an ending - Page No. 95 )

necessity of different styles combination
ā€¢ Full of different Jargon words- Chook up, Pick-up line, Pick up
girls
ā€¢ Idioms ā€“ Get under skin, Put finger on
ā€¢ Two levels of representing ideas- The mix of styles and the loss of
figurativeness by phraseological units
ā€¢ Novel is full of references to other stories and poem

images and texts from an earlier period and appropriated in a
present context, say scientists.

ā— The act of revisiting and revising that specific episode, brings with it
feelings of guilt and remorse as the protagonist realises that his past acts
were not as noble as he remembered them to be.
ā— However, these acts are part of the past and they cannot be changed, thus
another question that the novel raises is how to account for those actions
of which one does not feel proud and, more importantly, how to manage
those bad memories as one gets older.
ā— At the age of Sixty-five, webster did not expect to find himself in this
position because he had interiorised the message that old age was a time
of peace and quietness in which one had to wait for the end without
making much fuss about it.

  • 26. Title Title ā— Barnes borrowed the title from Frank Kermodeā€™s book of the same name. ā— A tale or study of reflection and reminiscence ā— Jonathan Cape argues that novel is concerned with what Kermode calls ā€˜problem of making sense of the way we make sense of the worldā€™.[1] ā— The sense one gets here: There is great unrest. ā— Is it really the end?
  • 27. Onomastics ā— Etymological origins of the charactersā€™ names ā— Anthony (Tony): Derived from the Latin Antonius, an old Roman family name of unknown etymology. ā€œPricelessā€ and ā€œof inestimable worthā€ are popular folk definitions of the name[2]. ā— Adrian: Derived from Latin Adrianus or Hadrianus which literally means ā€˜of the Adriaticā€™.[2]
  • 28. ā— Veronica:- Greek: Berenike - French: Veronique[2] ā— The popular "Saint Veronica" (not in the Roman Martyrology) traditionally was a pious woman who wiped the face of Christ when he fell carrying the cross to Calvary. The image of his face remained on the cloth, and the "veil of Veronica" has been preserved in Rome from the 8c. Her popularity rose with the propagation of the Stations of the Cross, and this connection led to the folk-etymology derivation of the name from Latin vera "true" + Greek eikon "image.ā€œ[2] ā— Does the onomastic study prove anything?
  • 29. The Diary Pages ā— Mrs Sarah Ford leaves Tony Adrianā€™s Diary. However, heā€™s never able to read it. ā— How do we understand or read a diary? ā— ā€œDiaries may well give some kind of glimpse into the past, but that glimpse, the novel suggests, will always be a partial, biased, and even deceptive one.ā€[3]
  • 30. The Equations ā— b = s ā€“ v Ɨ+ a1 ā— a2 + v + a1 x s = b ā— The equations are Adrianā€™s attempts to make sense of his situation. ā— ā€œYou just donā€™t get it, do you? You never did, and you never will.ā€ ā€“ Veronica to Tony
  • 31. Letters and Emails ā— The change in communicative mediums ā— Email= marker of the beginning of the digital age ā— A letter and its consequences ā— An e-mail and its reply
  • 32. Learning Outcome (So What?) and (What now?) ā— The novel makes you reflect on your own life: your faults, your words and actions ā— Can we live or end life without guilt and regret? ā— There can be numerous endings if we try to make sense of how people make sense of the world. ā— ā€˜The end of any likelihood of changeā€™

Told to other, but- mainly -to ourselves." (The sense of an ending - Page No. 95 )
