From his early childhood, Greene thinks that this world is full of evils and sins, miseries and misfortunes. He regards this world as the deserted land, "Greeneland", which God has lost attention to. He tries to search for the light of salvation from catholicism. Autually he converts to catholic church in 1926. But as a novelist he can not write novels conforming the catholic dogma which is taught in church. He thinks that the person who should' propagandize the decrees of church is not a novelist but a religious man. As a imaginative writer, Greene does not confine his ideas within the dogma of church. For this reason, he is often treated as a heretic. Greene pays close attention to man himself rather than the surroundings out of man. In Brighton Rock the protagonist, Pinkie has the satanic image. He meets the innocent girl, Rose, who looks like God's shadow. Pinkie is going to injury Rose but Rose loves him sincerely. At last Pinkie is embraced by Rose's lovely heart. In other words, he is embraced by God's Grace. In The Power and the Glory, the whiskey Priest undertakes his duty as a slave of God in spite of the adversity. In The Heart of the Matter Scobie dies because of the pity for others. In The End of the Affair Sarah dies to keep her promise with God. Sarah's lover, Bendrix returns to God in spite of his cold rationalism through Sarah's devotion. In A Burnt-Out Case Querry gains faith in God again after he has lost his fame of work and the desire for women. Greene's characters are all losers but they return to God by means of their failures. In fact they win the victory of life.
