Abstract

In her science fiction The Children of Men, P.D.James depicts the scene of doomsday from three literary perspectives: belief crisis, social crisis and emotional crisis. She also points out the way to achieve redemption: to regain belief, to return to emotions and to hold in awe of human life. This fiction inherits the great tradition of English novels by showing deep moral solicitude.
