Abstract

Abstract: Sally Rooney's Beautiful World, Where Are You presents two different conceptions of beauty: morally inflected or purely aesthetic. Alice's interest in moral beauty leads her to an unorthodox faith in the Christian God, while Eileen, unable to believe in a God that unifies the good, the true, and the beautiful or accept Christ as the Word-made-flesh, looks for beauty in the world around her. Rooney crafts a narratological analogue for this way of seeing, a beautiful narrator that models looking past the mundane to see the hidden beauty in daily life.
