BONDS THAT SHACKLE: MEMORY, VIOLENCE, AND FREEDOM IN THE UNVANQUISHED.
- Authors
Sharpe, Peter
- Abstract
The article examines the concept of memory, violence and freedom in the Civil War novel "The Unvanquished," by William Faulkner. The main character Bayard learns that the human spirit grows by letting memories go and not by harboring them. Bayard contemplates his father's brutal domineering and his killing of a man who had voted him out of his infantry's command. The aspect of freedom is portrayed when the slave Loosh has been freed. Details are given for Bayard's triumph over Redmond.
