In A Burnt-out Case, Greene deliberately concentrated on the metaphor to explore fundamental realization of Christian humanity. He wants to represent religious sense of human beings. But he gives up the structure of religion which he used to seek in other Catholic novels. As he once said in his interview, he tries ‘to show various grades of belief and disbelief.’ There are fanatical believers who are too busy to concern themselves with doubt; the half-believers who have their doubts about their beliefs; and the disbelievers who have their real beliefs in atheism. The leading character Querry once an internationally renowned and successful architect escaped from the routine world to the remotest place he had never been to. It's because his great success caused him the psychological mutilation. Even though he is a well-known Catholic architect, he refuses to be called a Catholic, or a man of humility. He feels that he is just a legal Catholic. But after he met various kinds of people, his attitude has been changed. He feels pity for the poor when he reaches the dark marsh in the forest and discovers his servant's plight. It means that he ‘begins to feel part of the human condition’. His affection to human beings has been recovered through his involvement with the patients' suffering. In A Burnt-out Case Greene explores the love of human being and the importance of the pragmatic commitment to society.
