Abstract
The essay aims to explore the coexistence of “matter” and “consciousness” within the character of Sibyl’s son in Pär Lagerkvist’s novel, _The Sibyl_. It draws on the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre’s theory, which suggests that this fusion lies at the heart of humanity’s concept of God. Nevertheless, Sartre also argues that such a combination is fundamentally unattainable. That leads us to the conclusion that Sibyl’s son represents the unimaginable God that Sartre imagined.
