The Tragedy of Quentin Compson under the Perspective of Sociology
by Huang Min
About This Novel
This book studies Quentin Compson, a character portrayed in Faulkner's novels, and explores the ideological concepts and behavioral patterns of "well-educated", "white", and "young men". Vertically, it uses a sociological observation perspective to analyze the causes of Quentin's tragedy. It not only summarizes the social environmental factors in which he is located, but also pays attention to the latter's psychological effect on people, thus pointing out that Quentin's tragedy is not caused by a certain factor - such as his sister's marriage - alone. Horizontally, by comparing Quentin with several other characters: Rosa, Ike, Chick, and Lucius, we interpret the changes in Faulkner's creative thinking in the early, middle, and late periods, and at the same time explain the reasons for the weakening of the tragic color in Faulkner's middle and late creations.
