Sartoris

Sartoris

William Faulkner

"Sartoris" is one of Faulkner's earlier works and part of his larger cycle about the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, which appears in many of his novels.

The novel focuses on the character of Bayard Sartoris, a young man from a respectable family in the post-official American South, who faces the legacy and traditions of his family and society. The plot mainly revolves around Bayard's search for identity, his relationship with his family, and the dilemmas caused by the changes in society after the Civil War.

Bayard is the son of John Sartoris, a Civil War veteran who became a symbol of strength and honor, and through the characters in the novel, Faulkner explores themes of honor, patriarchal values, war trauma, family relationships, and postwar reality. Bayard's father, who has become an almost legendary figure in society, tries to pass on his perception of the world and his values ​​to his son, which creates an inner dilemma for Bayard.

One of the key moments in the novel is Bayard's confrontation with his own values ​​and his attempt to break free from limiting traditions, which allows him to develop into an adult, independent personality. He has to balance between family glory and society's expectations, and his own aspirations for a calmer and more morally acceptable life.

Through this novel, Faulkner deals with the issues of post-war America, where the traumas of war and social changes affect all aspects of life. "Sartoris" is also a story about growing up, about the heritage that shapes the characters and about the search for identity within a complex, turbulent society.
