Paper Summary:
This paper takes a look at the different family members, their individual relationships, and how a death in the family forever changes them in the novel "As I Lay Dying."From the paper:
"Self-interest is what drives the characters in this novel, and self-interest is what destroys them as moral human beings. This aspect is what turned this story into a tragedy. There is a decent level of intellect within the minds of certain characters, but they are still nothing more and nothing less than a poor, southern, white trash family. That is all they will ever be, for their own selfishness and arrogance is what keeps them from evolving as human beings."
