QUENTIN COMPSON: TRAPPED IN ILLO TEMPORE
QUENTIN COMPSON: TRAPPED IN ILLO TEMPORE

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on Quentin Compson’s split personality, a representative Faulknerian character of the new Southern generation, and tries to explore the Southern code seen through the eyes of this generation. Such characters are “ghosts” of the South, as Quentin expresses himself, who cannot life neither in the past – because it is dead - , nor in the motionless present, because it is filled with stories, mirrors and myths of yesterdays.
