About
This thesis examines the anti-hero of William Faulkner's text and the various ways that his identity is constructed by both external and internal influences, the most predominate and destructive of which is racism. The philosophical notion of authenticity, particularly as it is formulated by Charles Taylor, is the main theoretical apparatus used to critique both Joe Christmas and the sociological environment in which he is forced to exist.
