In the novel by William Faulkner, Light in August there is alienation in the novel.
The alienation occurs with Joe Christmas. He is a stranger that comes into the town of
Jefferson with a unkonwn past. Prior to his arrival, he went under the name of Lucas
Burch. Whne Joe Christmas arrives at Jefferson, he alienates himeself from almost
everybody for about 2 years. His past has taught him to do so, with all the bad things that
We get extended interior monologues from Christmas, and the story of his past
occupies a third or more of the book. Despite the amount of information provided,
Christmas remains hard to comprehend. It isn’t that he is not what he seems to be. Rather,
he “seems” to be many things, but the reader can never be quite certain which of these are
Christmas’ tragedy is that he does not know himself what he is. He seems certain
that he is part “nigger” but there is no reliable evidence that this is true. Certainly, he looks
white. Christmas moves back and forth between white society and black society. Every
time he does so, he reveals himself as an outsider. In white society he exposes his own
“nigger” blood; in black society he portrays himself as white. When he does so, he expects
a violent reaction from which he has provoked. Being both black and white he cannot truly
be a part of either society. Nor can he simply deny this dichotomy. Rather, as quoted on
page 69, “his awareness of this dichotomy makes him take up the role of antagonist in all
situations”. He is born into a social system which has defined the categories of white and
black, and has established rituals for dealing with any behavior by either, which depicts an
image to the reader of his alienation and difference he is from the rest of the population in
Jefferson.. Joe believes in these categories and rituals. When a white prostitute is not
outraged by his Negro blood, he beats her. He expects her to reject him. Rather her
“indifference challenges the validity of the premise on which he has built his whole life”
These social categories and rituals dominate the novel. A townsman quickly
recognizes that Christmas is “unique among the characters in that he is the only one who
insists on unifying the forces rather than accepting, indeed depending upon, their
separation” on page 13. His attempts to unify the social and moral categories upon which
the society of Jefferson is built earn him the violent rejection by that society, black and
white which leaved him with no place to go. Thus Christmas is murdered by a society
because his existence challenges its very foundations.
