What distinguishes Lagerkvist's use of religious motifs?

  • Satirical approach

  • Ecclesiastical approval

  • Non-doctrinal

  • Mystical interpretations

Answer

Lagerkvist's use of religious motifs is distinguished by its non-doctrinal approach. Unlike traditional literature that presents religious themes allegorically or as moral lessons, Lagerkvist focuses on the existential struggles and emotional depth of individuals regardless of their faith. He explores spiritual concepts not as dogmatic truths but as human experiences marked by doubt, anxiety, and a longing for transcendence.
