Shin, Young-hun. “Coping with change: A study on William Faulkner’s Sartoris.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 37.2 (2011): 103-24. This paper aims to analyze the various ways in which Faulknerian characters deal with change. In Sartoris, three kinds of attitudes toward change appear. First, some people, including Young Bayard and his wife, Narcy, refuse to face their changing reality. Instead, they try to escape into the past or adhere to tradition. Second, there are others who are willing to step out and avail themselves of change. Caspey, old Simon’s son, represents this category. He participated in the First World War, and returned home, baptized with the idea of racial equality. However, his new belief fails to draw the sympathy of readers, especially when he demands he get white women. Finally, there are some wise characters, such as Miss Jenny, Old Bayard, and Horace Benbow. They are neither obsessed with the past nor blindly praise change for more material prosperity. In the literature seminars at the University of Virginia, Faulkner emphasized the inevitability of change and the key role of wise people in guiding change in the right direction. However, the wise people of Sartoris are too weak to play their roles in leading change for a better tomorrow. That’s why the tone of this novel is felt tragic. (Hansung University)
