“It Made the Ladies into Ghosts”: The Male Hero's Journey and the Destruction of the Feminine in William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! and Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon

This thesis is a consideration of the intertextual relationship between William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! and Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon. It considers the objectification and destruction of women and female-coded men in the service of the male protagonist's journey to selfhood, with particular focus on the construction of race, gender, and class performances.
