Critics have frequently read Darl Bundren from Faulkner’s As I Lay
Dying as a mentally insane individual. The aim of this paper is to
challenge the label of insane attached to Darl and interpret him as a
traumatized subject. Using Contemporary Trauma Theory as a critical
tool, we will bring forward those symptoms which account for Darl
suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a state
triggered by his participation in WWI. Moreover, we will examine
those aspects which will allow us to grasp the complexity of his trauma,
as the maternal abandonment he has been exposed to. Finally, our
argumentation will allow us to dismiss the assumption that Darl is a
schizophrenic. We will conclude by emphasizing the relevance trauma
theory has in Darl’s characterization and suggesting further research
contributing to unveiling the construal of the character’s insanity. [-]
