It is my thesis that by the actions of the main characters, secondary characters, and the narrator himself Faulkner crafts a story about the complex and powerful function of ideology in a culture. It is also my belief that this treatment of ideology in “Dry September” extends around ...
- 22: Four Contrasting Viewpoints In The Sound And The Fury
- ... tragedy, Macbeth, the title character likens life to a “tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury.” Benjy, a thirty-three year old idiot, begins to relate William Faulkner’s unfortunate tale of the Compson family in The Sound and the Fury.

However, Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury is not limited to any one point of view, even to that of Benjy.

- 24: Response to William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”
- Response to William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” Author: Tyrone Banks “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner is an excellent story. The narrator, a non-participant, through a third person point of view communicates the story of Emily Grierson. Personally, I like this point of view, because it allows me to see the characters from a broader perspective. Faulkner is never clear about who his narrator for this story is. The only known fact about the narrator is that it (being he or she) is a member of ...
- 25: Barn Burning
- Written as it was, at the ebb of the 1930s, a decade of social, economic, and cultural tumult, the decade of the Great Depression, William Faulkner's short story "Barn Burning" may be read and discussed in our classrooms as just that--a story of the '30s, for "Barn Burning" offers students insights into these years ... Barn Burning" can be used to awaken students to the race, class, and economic turmoil of the decade. During the 1930s, the Sartoris and Snopes families were overlapping entities in Faulkner's imagination. These families with their opposing social values spurred his imagination at a time when he wrote about the passing of a conservative, agricultural South and the opening up of the South to a new era of modernization. This depiction of the agrarian society of the Sartoris family connects Faulkner to the nostalgic yearnings for a past expressed in I'll Take My Stand, the Fugitives' manifesto of 1930, a book opening the decade yet echoing sentiments of past ...

- "A Fallen Monument" "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner is a brilliant story. Faulkner uses great techniques to try to confuse the reader. The story begins at one point; he throws a twist in the middle and brings the reader back to the ending of the story. This is a fantastic story that gives us an insight of a fallen monument. Faulkner has illustrated some strong irony and symbolism. The story begins in a small (made-up) town where a woman by the name of Emily Grierson died. Emily is described ...
