| | Mots-clés : | novel Absalom American three families American South Thomas Sutpen. | | Index. décimale : | 813/.52 | | Résumé : | Absalom, Absalom!, novel by American writer William Faulkner, published in 1936. The principal narrative, set in 19th-century Mississippi, involves Thomas Sutpen, a poor white man from the mountains of West Virginia who rebels against his family and his alcoholic father, suffers a life-changing insult by a black servant, migrates to Haiti and becomes an overseer of a plantation, marries but learns that his wife (and consequently their son, whom he rejects) is of mixed race, and then moves to the Deep South in 1833 to transcend his lowly origins by establishing and maintaining his own slave-driven empire—"Sutpen’s Hundred." Sutpen’s consuming notion of racial superiority undermines his closest relationships and proves his undoing. By the novel’s end his plantation is in ruins and his only living heir is a mentally deficient great-grandson of mixed blood. Faulkner’s title references Absalom of the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament), the rebellious son of King David. |
