The Way of All Flesh is a semi autobiographical novel that traces several generations of the Pontifex family, focusing on Ernest, who struggles against the oppressive religiosity and hypocrisy of his Victorian upbringing. Through satire and psychological insight, Butler exposes the damaging effects of rigid convention and parental control. The book offers a critical, often darkly humorous look at family, faith, and the slow process of personal emancipation.
