Martin Heidegger, Anxiety, Death, Existence.Abstract
As I Lay Dying (1930), William Faulkner’s fifth novel, offers meaningful considerations upon death, language, time and existence. The anxiety that inhabits to a smaller or larger degree the Bundren family transcends the experience of physical death. That happens because even though the grief over Addie’s loss – the family’s matriarch – is over, a sensation of estrangement and shutdown from the external world persists in some of its members, especially in Darl, Addie’s third son and the narrative’s protagonist. Through the main considerations exposed by Martin Heidegger in Being and Time (1927) this work aims at bringing into the light how Darl’s anxiety and Addie’s death contribute to the comprehension of the being’s significance, as well as conduct to the path of its most authentic possibility.References
