Christ Symbolism in Kesey, Faulkner, and Ellison
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page
report discusses Christ symbolism in Ken Kesey’s “One Flew Over
the Cuckoo’s Nest,” William Faulkner’s “Light in August,” and
Ralph Ellison’s “Invisible Man.” Numerous characters and
storylines throughout literature evoke the symbology of Christ
and the various aspects of the story of Jesus the Christ.
Characters described as Christ-like may be loving, forgiving, or
willing to sacrifice themselves for others. Time and again,
literature of the Western world tells the story of an innocent
killed for the crimes of others. And in each of the 20th century
works named, the symbolism to Christ is unmistakable.
Bibliography lists 7 sources.

stories, relate the economy, the culture, and the
physical conditions of the neighborhood.
