Occasionally, as the recipient, you may be required to phone the delivery courier in your country if there is a delay. Some items may be cancelled after purchase if they do not meet import requirements for your country. Some items are more likely to be delayed by international customs. I do not have any control over delivery as soon as I have shipped your order and cannot be responsible for any delays by customs. I provide the tracking number on the dispatch note. All items sold for £5 and above are sent tracked and/or signed for. This is the case for all domestic orders, and most international orders. He is literally falling into oblivion (the sea) and the flames of hell (the vitriol) await.I often use recycled cardboard boxes for shipping, they are strong and sturdy, and help to reduce our carbon footprints.įor larger parcels (above 2kg and/or larger than Royal Mail’s sizing), I receive a courier account discount which I pass on to my customers.
Despite being born in Original Sin along with Pinkie in the slums, Rose's virtue saves her from suffering the same fate that Pinkie does, as he falls off the cliffs of Brighton to his death, his face covered in vitriol. Rose understands both sides. She believes strongly in Redemption and devotes herself to saving Pinkie.
But the other side to Sin is the teaching of Redemption. You can confess your sin and be truly sorry and then you will be forgiven and cleansed of all sin. Pinkie’s problem is that he only understands one side of this teaching, the Sin and the Punishment: he was born in hell and this is where he will always stay. The Original Sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was directly against God, and set the pattern for all sins since then. Both have been raised Catholic (Greene was also a Catholic), a religion intimately acquainted with the concept of evil and, perhaps more importantly, Sin. This is where two of the protagonists, Pinkie and Rose come from. This civil unrest stems from Brighton's homegrown hell: its slums. But the excitement is all found in getting there, as many quickly realised that Brighton also had a significant dark side: huge crowds, drunks, beggars, pickpockets, razor gangs that roamed Brighton in the 1930s at the time of the book's setting. It’s most likely their only holiday break, it's relatively cheap, and it’s a short train journey from London. To the majority of tourists Graham Greene would have been writing for and about – especially poor Londoners – Brighton is, at first, a glimpse of heaven. Brighton has something for everyone: with vast numbers of attractions for the young and old rich and poor. Brighton is the perfect setting for a story about good and evil, as it captures a working class vision of both heaven and hell on Earth. Brighton Rock is the story of a struggle between good and evil.
