In the end, she’s forced to choose between two men. Henry is a good man, but she wants to have a long-term relationship with Bendrix. A dramatic incident forces her to consider her faith and her relationship with Henry.

Henry is not happy with Sarah’s affair, and is resentful of her unfaithfulness. His lack of ability to fulfill his duties as a husband contributes to Sarah’s short-term affairs. The novelist Bendrix fills the role that Henry isn’t fulfilling.

Sarah’s sacrifice of romantic love for divine love

At the end of the affair, Sarah renounces her romantic love for Bendrix in exchange for his love for God. This act is in contrast to Sarah’s belief that love has no boundaries or ends. Although love does not end even when two people move apart, some form of physical intimacy may be necessary for true love to exist.

The novel The End of the Affair explores the nature of love and how different types of love are influenced by the people who surround us. In particular, it explores the physical and spiritual aspects of love, and the role of men in shaping our character. It also examines the importance of faith in relationships and explores the role of the ’divine’ in human relationships.

Sarah’s death

Sarah’s death is a devastating turn of events. She believed that Bendrix was dead or severely injured, so she prayed to God, promising to end the affair if he died. But when she learns that he survived, she is horrified by his death, and she becomes depressed, trying to convince herself that God didn’t exist.

The novel is a study of opposing themes, love and hate. While love is the ultimate goal of every human being, hate is often the first step. The author demonstrates this by portraying the brutality of both emotions. In the end, Sarah chooses divine love, while Bendrix chooses earthly hate. While the book depicts Sarah’s death as tragic, it serves as an object lesson on the repercussions of romantic love on the individual.
