Paper Summary:
This paper examines William Faulkner's novel "Light in August." The book mostly revolves around the main character Joe Christmas whose unusual last name is both significant and deliberate. This paper discusses the similarities and differences between Joe Christmas and Jesus Christ as well as how Christmas becomes a dichotomy of Jesus and the Anti-Christ by embodying characteristics of both good and evil in one person.From the Paper:
"The life of Joe Christmas, and certain facts about him, are directly related or connected to the life of Jesus Christ. Since the word "Christ" appears in his name, which he carries proudly through the novel, he becomes the "Christ" bearer. Another similarity is that Joe's initials are J.C., which are also the initials of Jesus. According to the Bible, Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary and was raised by her along with Joseph."More papers on "Light in August":
