Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} {{workstub}} ''[[The Power and ~~the~~The Glory]]'' is a novel by [[Graham Greene]], published in 1940. It takes place in Mexico during the time when, in several states, religion (and priests) were outlawed. The hero is a nameless alcoholic priest who has decided, unlike most, to stay in Mexico as a fugitive from the state and a savior to the people. His struggle with the Javert-like lieutenant who is trying to catch him is symbolic of the struggle between God and government. The novel is generally considered a literary masterpiece. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~Tropes include:~~ * [[Anti -Hero]]: the whiskey priest * [[Anti -Villain]]: the lieutenant * [[The Noun and ~~The~~the Noun]] * [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: So. Much. Religious imagery. Which makes sense, because the book is about the conflict between religion and the state...
