Little Sister Death

This book reads Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury with philosophies of death: Benjy senses Max Scheler's intuitive certainty of death, Jason is the Schelerian dweller of the West, Quentin the embodiment of Martin Heidegger's "Dasein", and Caddy's fecundity and Dilsey's responsibility for the "Other" exemplify Emmanuel Levinas's "victory over death".
