Abstract
The subject of revenge in John Grisham’s A time to kill is correlated with the judicial racism and white oppression of the black community in America. The current study is counting upon Freudian psychoanalytic interpretation of the personality of the protagonist, Carl lee Hailey, who decides to pursue his own justice after the judicial system fails to convict the two men who raped his daughter and left her on the brink of death. When Carl lee kills the two white men in revenge for his daughter, a racist bomb explodes in the face of every black one at a time when the south considered blacks as second class citizens. The racial bigotry and white discrimination of the black American citizens also have an effect on the psychological state of Carl lee Hailey, and lead him to take his revenge for the two crimes: raping and racial persecution. This paper endeavors to prove that the revenge is a normal consequence of psychological feeling of persecution and disorders throughout analyzing the personality of Carl lee Hailey and the racial condition that he has encountered in his white society.
