Abstract

The article focuses on how William Faulkner's A Fable can be reinterpreted through Walter Benjamin's theory of redemptive allegory to reveal new insights about war, temporality, and resistance. Topics include Benjamin's concept of war-shattered experience and transformative allegory, Faulkner's critique of traditional representations of war and racial oppression, and how A Fable challenges the limits of historical and literary meaning through its ambitious but contested structure.
