This paper drew
the attention to the representation of the evangelical society in the
novel which is full of values, mores and preconceptions associated with
evangelicalism. It is intended to compare this representation with the
existing norms of evangelicalism in real life. Furthermore, it tried to
reveal the connection between the author’s own life experiences with the
fictional society she created in the novel. The contradictions between
the beliefs of evangelical people and their behaviours criticisized in
the novel were underscored and questioned with regard to writer’s
objectivity in her fictional representation of a real community. The
contrast between appearance and reality, the basis of the novel, was the
starting point of the argument in this paper and it was aimed to reveal
this contrast between the fictional world of the novel and the
non-fictional world of members of a sect of Christianity.
