Abstract

British author Rachel Joyce's debut novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, focuses on the spiritual and psychological dilemmas of the elderly, attempting to summon their spiritual recovery by way of a pilgrimage. Around this theme, the novel outlines the family relationship of the main character Harold in the form of interpolation and explores the possibility of his re-growth. This essay draws out Harold's past, present and future from Plato's three questions of life, and based on them, tentatively analyses the process and results of the re-growth and metamorphosis of the elderly.
