An Archetypal Study on William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!
View through CrossRef
This paper attempts to analyze Faulkner’s novel from archetypal perspective with a focus on Biblical allusions in the novel Absalom, Absalom. My purpose is to induce a kind of pattern in Faulkner’s writings which reveals the artist’s capability to assimilate archetypes as well as displace them. His unique method of using archetypes remarkably foregrounds the themes of his fictions and marks him as an innovative and talented writer.
