Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: In Sanctuary, Horace Benbow desperately tries to help others (and himself) out of unjust situations, but tragically fails in the end with Temple Drake having changed her mind and testifying not against her rapist, Popeye, but against the innocent Goodwin who is then convicted and lynched. Throughout the novel, Horace clings to fair justice and tries to fight any evil he comes across. But as he does not even accept it to be a part of the world, of humanity itself, he is doomed to lose this fight. An analysis of Horace's character regarding his ideals, his relationships and views (on himself, others, the world) is going to explain this statement.
