Absalon, Absalon ! est tout d'abord l'histoire de Thomas Sutpen et de sa descendance - l'histoire de son dessein : créer une plantation et y établir une dynastie pérenne, en sorte que ne puisse se reproduire la scène où s'origine ce dessein, lorsque le petit garçon qu'il était fut empêché par un esclave noir de franchir la porte d'entrée de la maison du planteur où son père l'avait envoyé porter un message. Cette porte-miroir lui renvoie, précisément parce qu'elle est barrée, l'image de son impuissance et de sa précarité de pauvre Blanc dans une société où pouvoir, prestige et loisir appartiennent à la classe des planteurs.
