Good vs. Evil, Wars in "A Separate Peace" by John Knowles

…

…War ended in 1946 with the Allies as victors and the Axis powers forever vanquished. We learn that with Finny's death, his outer war with Gene finally ends. But, the death enhances Gene's inner war which doesn't end until 15 years after when Gene returns to the place where it all began, Devon. We finally reach an end to the wars and gain three separate peaces. These three pieces that make John Knowles wonderful vision a whole.
