The Way of All Flesh by Samuel Butler is a semi-autobiographical novel that critiques Victorian family life, religion, and morality.It follows four generations of the Pontifex family, focusing mainly on Ernest Pontifex, who struggles under the weight of rigid religious upbringing and oppressive parents. Raised to be a clergyman, Ernest gradually rejects traditional beliefs and the hypocrisy of his family.
