Faulkner의 'As I Lay Dying'에 나타난 죽음 = On The Death in Faulkner's 'As I Lay Dying'

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The subjict of this novelis Death: its central image is the human corpse, generating furious passions and furious activities. There are many paradoxes in the actions of the Bundrens. From this central paradox, a series of paradoxes proliferate, and before the novel ends, distinctions between tragedy and comedy, being and non-being, sanity and insanity have almost vanished. This novel is the story of the Bundrens, poor whiters, on a ten-day funeral journey through heat, flood, and fire. Written shortly after the somer THE SOUND AND THE FURY, his short novel presents human ecistance as absurdity. If there is any single clue to what Faulkner was about in this simutaneously horrifying and amusing, tragic and comic story, it is a human absurdity. The remarkable success in this novel is achieved by an accumulation of incongruities. But these incongruities are apparent only to a detached reader. The fifty-nine short interior monologues that are used to tell the story permit him to identify with no single character. Therefore he is forced to view the individual characters in broad perspective.
There is no auther's voice in the novel. No single chracter can be designed as a spokesman for the auther, and no single charaxter can be considered an objective recorder of events. Because each charater is so individualized, his monologues reveal only his personal view of an event. There are no villains and heroes in the novel. The complextiies and contradictions of the human personality are exposed and explored, and the ultimate result is the reader's awareness of the amusing and tragic incongruities between the individual's vision of himself and his neighbor's wiew of him.
