초록

Addie is the main character in As I Lay Dying, one of the William Faulkner’s greatest novels, being depicted as dying and undying entity during the funeral journey by her family members. Despite her scarcity of presence in the text her influence in the text is the main driving force of the story telling in the text, dominating the conscious and the unconscious of the characters in the development of the novel. She was disappointed and frustrated by the emptiness of the words from her husband, Anse Bundren, with deceitfulness and incompetency in household financial matters. While pursuing her real love away from Anse’s valueless remarks, she committed adultery with the Reverend Whitfield. Jewel is the child resulted from the adulterous relation between Addie and the preacher. Addie takes care of and only loves the illegitimate child not observing the duty as mother for the children between Anse and herself. She disregards motherhood as the invented word for the people who make use of it. The readers of the novel can consider her attitude and philosophy as problematic issues, but it is undoubtful that her presence or non presence distills the whole frame of the text roaming the conscious and the unconscious of the characters in the novel.

Abstract

Addie is the main character in As I Lay Dying, one of the William Faulkner’s greatest novels, being depicted as dying and undying entity during the funeral journey by her family members. Despite her scarcity of presence in the text her influence in the text is the main driving force of the story telling in the text, dominating the conscious and the unconscious of the characters in the development of the novel. She was disappointed and frustrated by the emptiness of the words from her husband, Anse Bundren, with deceitfulness and incompetency in household financial matters. While pursuing her real love away from Anse’s valueless remarks, she committed adultery with the Reverend Whitfield. Jewel is the child resulted from the adulterous relation between Addie and the preacher. Addie takes care of and only loves the illegitimate child not observing the duty as mother for the children between Anse and herself. She disregards motherhood as the invented word for the people who make use of it. The readers of the novel can consider her attitude and philosophy as problematic issues, but it is undoubtful that her presence or non presence distills the whole frame of the text roaming the conscious and the unconscious of the characters in the novel.
