Beschreibung zu „The Confessions of Nat Turner“

William Styron's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, 'The Confessions of Nat Turner', tells the story of the historical figure's slave rebellion in Virginia in 1831. Presented as a first-person narrative, Nat Turner's account is based on his "confession" to his lawyer, Thomas Ruffin Gray, although historians note inaccuracies and possible fabrications in Gray's account. Styron's novel attempts to imagine Nat Turner's character and motivations. Despite facing execution for his crimes, Nat Turner reflects on his past life and experiences with various masters, including Samuel Turner, Reverend Eppes, and Travis. The novel portrays Nat Turner's rebellion as going wrong from the start, and despite some loyal slaves supporting him, the rebellion ends with many deaths, including that of Margaret Whitehead, whom Nat reluctantly kills.
