Andrews Judd THEO 215 Wojda Short Essay 2 02/11/08 Self-Atonement; the lack thereof In Ian McEwan's novel, Atonement, Briony, our recently discovered narrator, closes the story by saying, "No atonement for God, or novelists, even if they are atheists." It seems a simple enough claim that there is no atonement for God; after all, who would he (or she) have to atone to? By the very definition of atonementforgiveness and reconciliation with God- His atonement would become selfreconciliation and therefore completely different than atonement in its traditional sense. More importantly however, for novelists: why is it that for them there is also "no atonement . . . even if they are atheists?" The nature of this claim is clearly not based on the necessity of faith, for it is not belief that damns these people from atonement; rather, it is their position of power in duplicating God's role. Novelists' absolute power in the creation of their stories and the outcomes of their characters mirrors God's omnipotence. God, the creator of all things, cannot atone to himself. Transferring this philosophy to the mirrored position of a novelist within the bounds of a story, it becomes clear why a novelist cannot achieve atonement. For without any higher power, to whom would the novelist atone? Only thyself; the creator of all things. The requirement of forgiveness for atonement with God also forbids Briony. In her specific case, she has behaved in a manner that is completely unacceptable, inexcusable; for and many, unforgiveable. Even Briony herself has issues accepting what she had done and moving on with her life. As the God of the created world in which she seeks atonement, she cannot issue atonement, even if self-atonement were possible. Along with her troubles of moving on, accepting the blatant facts causes difficulty for Briony as well. Recognition of the fact that Robbie and Cecilia are dead is unconceivable for Briony's mind as she attempts to fit it nicely into her utopian world. This tragedy cannot be neatly and nicely worked out, ending on some sort of happy note. Unlike her perfect stories, this is real. This issue won't be repaired by a prince in disguise, like in The Trials of Arabella. Her power can't extend to such applications. Having grown customary to this sort of resolution, Briony suffers in her quest to understand how to cope: the endless journey for atonement. By lack of understanding and eligibility of forgiveness, Briony is damned to continue without achieving atonement. Further, for all writers, it is their absolute powerthat which deems them "God", the very figure from whom to seek atonement- that ultimately revokes their eligibility for atonement. It seems that Briony's claim could be more definitively stated as "No atonement for those whose imagination creates reality and have thereby gained omnipotence." So how can a novelist- one who possesses absolute power, like God- achieve atonement? Quite simply, by deciding not to be God.
