    Bayard Character Analysis

    Bayard defines himself in two different ways at two different times in the book. Early on he defines himself by responding to the murder of Granny; seeking revenge, and killing Grumby. It wasn't satisfying and it left him with an emptiness of the soul. He wasn't sure what life was all about because he wasn't acting from love or for himself; he was acting from hatred. When Bayard is faced with a most similar situation to that of the murder of Granny, he made a decision, which was the polar opposite of what he did before. Redmond, a man antagonized perpetually by Bayard’s dad, John Sartoris, had grown so tired of the constant aggravation that he ends up shooting Sartoris. Everyone told Bayard to avenge his father’s death, as they did with Granny,…
