English Abstract
This study has the main objective that is, examining the concept of “Death as an escape” in Faulkner's novel As I Lay Dying and the novella by Kanafani, All That's Left to You.
A complete analysis for both novels was conducted by this researcher who also reviewed relevant several books and journals and read the opinions and arguments of many critics in order to reveal how these two authors dealt with the death as a tool of escape.
In regard to Faulkner, he was mainly concerned with slavery and poverty in the Southern states of America in all his writings.
However, in "As I Lay Dying" he was concerned mainly with poverty in his county in the South.
He dealt with death through Mrs.
Addie.
Faulkner concludes by showing her death was liberation from a hard life she lived with very poor family and hard labor.
In regard to Kanafani, he described a Palestinian family living in exile with main protagonist Hamid, who dies on his way from Gaza to Jordan, in the desert while struggling with an Israeli soldier.
Kanafani ties Hamid's death with the occupied land and the scattered families in exile, with the burning sun and the desert as active participants in Kanafani's novels.
