Major Themes in A Separate Peace Understanding conflict within oneself is a necessary part of growing up. Friendship grows through conflict, resolving differences, forgiveness, and accepting each other’s strengths and weaknesses. A person’s own insecurities may cause him to misinterpret a friend’s actions or words. Personal joys and pains are felt more strongly than great public events like war.
