| 總結: | With some parallels to current postsecular interpretations of literature, this apophatic reading examines The Road's negations, hints, and images to point out that even in the novel's bleak world, some suggestions of God shine through, providing readers and characters encouragement for the journey. Despite the devastated landscape and the apparent hopelessness, the novel's questions and suggestions invite readers to consider the possibility that a divine spark may still be present. |
