Bachelor Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject American Studies - Literature, language: English, abstract: In the thesis, the situation of a maladjusted individual, in the context of social relations, illustrated with an example of the main character is presented. It is an attempt to prove that the novel is a metaphor for the conflict between the individual, who fights for his place in the society, and the system, in which the struggle is doomed to be lost. Because the notion of race in Light in August is a metaphor for differences between people, the book has the universal dimension that goes far beyond the political and social relations of the American South.
