초록
This study investigates human nature through the character, Thomas Sutpen, in William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!. This study starts with inspecting human nature as effected by material possessions and Sutpen’s psychological make-up is looked at through his process of wealth accumulation. Secondly, human nature in relation to sexual and marital interactions is examined through Sutpen’s several marriages and the abandonment of his children. Sutpen’s racism and passion for race purity, plus his seemingly cold and cruel character, will be examined throughout this study. Lastly, the nature of crime and violence will be examined through the character’s abandonment of his own blood and his attitude towards female sexuality as a means of racial reproduction.
