which can be seen through the character of Bayard Sartoris
in William Faulkner's The Unvanquished. In order to know
the process of Bayard's changing ideal from the Southern
code of vengeance to the Christian code of forgiveness and
love, the thesis writer analyzes the characterization of
Bayard Sartoris in relation to the Southern code of
vengeance and the Christian code of forgiveness and love.
She also analyzes his outer conflicts; his conflicts
against his stepmother and the society. From Bayard's
inner conflicts, the thesis writer finds out the process of
his changing ideal which is revealed in his making
decision. The thesis writer finally concludes that people,
especially the loved ones, have a significant role in
shaping one's character and attitudes. However, it does
not lessen the importance of one's own decision. Through
the outer and inner conflicts that one undergoes, one can
finally decide to change his ideal to a better one.
