How many diferent themes are there in The Stone Angel?

In Margaret Laurence’s novel The Stone
Angel, there are many different themes such as: alienation, pride, and
ageing.  It is primarily a novel about an older woman named Hagar, who because of her
advanced age is no longer able to do the things she was once able to do in her younger
days. Hagar often feels alienated from others because of her feelings of inadequacies
and because she seems to cage herself in with negative perceptions of old age.  She
cannot accept the changes that are happening to her.  In addition, Laurence’s theme of
pride is emphasised with Hagar’s enormous pride and ego.  Because of this pride, she has
even greater difficulties accepting the challenges presented during this time in her
life.
