    Different types of greed (including its absence) are

    at the heart of Doctor Fischer of Geneva or the


    Bomb Party. Compare and contrast three types of
    greed found in the novel and their consequences.

    Is greed universal? Are we all ready to reject our moral values if offered the
    right price? These are some of the provocative questions raised by Doctor
    Fischer of Geneva or the Bomb Party by Graham Greene, a dark, postlapsarian
    novel that explores the nature of greed and its different manifestations in a
    world inhabited by fallible and corrupted human beings. However, although
    material greed as well as greed for power and humiliation feature
    predominately in the book, the text also suggests that redemption is possible
    for those who seek to love rather than to hate.

    1. Material greed (the toads): accept to be humiliated


    2. Greed for power and humiliation (Dr Fischer): bottomless pit that leads
    to suicide
    3. Anna, Anna-Louise and Jones: No greed but love and therefore can
    escape Dr Fischer
