Abstract
This thesis explores Carson McCullers' concept of love in her five novels: The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Reflections in a Golden Eye, The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, The Member of the Wedding, and Clock Without Hands. It examines the influence of her own age, the Chivalric Code of Love, and the Platonic Doctrine of Love on her philosophy of love, as expressed in each of her novels.
