概要

• 論文の詳細を見る

• Though since the appearance of A Fable in 1954, the criticism has tended to put more emphasis on the Christ imagery in Light in August, there has never been a convincing discussion of Joe Christmas' function as a Christ figure, especially in consideration of Lena Grove whose story accompanies Joe Christmas' tragic life. The aim of this paper is to clarify how Joe Christmas functions as a Christ figure by showing his christhood as a sacrificial lamb and redeemer, and furthermore to clarify Faulkner's religious concept of the omnipresence of God's love in considering the relationship between Lena Grove and Joe Christmas.
