Abstract EN:
Our analysis of the concept of charactor, in faulkner's three novels (as y lay dying, the solind and the fury, absolom, absalom|), focuses on its double nature. It is viewed as a cluster of linguistic signs and at the same time as fictionnal creative, but endowed with a psychological depth. The narrative form of faulkner's novels is a fundamental key in the identification of his characters. A fragmented discourse, which consists of monologues and a profusion of narrators, is a basic attribute of the faulknerian character. Three main themes help shape the characters identity persersion, introversion ans isolation the major character in faulkner's fiction functions as the narrators' focal point and at the some lime plays the role of an evanescent subject, who resists to the nattators' never-ending attelmpts to fix and come le grips with "realitif" the tragic, as a literary mode, is a distinctive feature of fautkner's writing. The death of thomas sutpen, the compsons' decadence and the poundrens' awarerress of the futility of their existence are narrative incidents which give faulkener's writing a tragic imprint.
Abstract FR:
Notre analyse du personnage dans les trois romans de william faulkner tient compte de son double statut. Il est a la fois l'ensemble des signes linguistiques et une creature fictive, mais dotee d'une profondeur psychologique. La forme narrative est l'une des clefs fondamentales dans l'identification des personnages de faulkner. Un discours fragmente sous forme de monologues reste l'un des facteurs determinante du personnege faulknerien. Perversion, introversion et solitude constituent trois themes capitaux autour desquelles l'essence des personnages se forge et se cree. Le personnage central est a la fois le centre d(interet des differents narrateurs presents dans l'histoire et une entite illusoire qui echappe aux tentatives incessantes des narrateurs pour figer cette "realite" qui reste tant intangible. Le tragique, en outre, est un genre litteraire qui est a la base de l'ecriture de franlkner. La mort de thomas gutpen, la decadence des compsons et le sentiment des brundrens de la fertilite de l'existence sont des incidents narratifs qui placent l'ecriture de faulkner dans le registre tragique.
