Dewey Dell Ten Dollars
947 wordsAs I Lay Dying is one of William Faulkner's early novels about how a family is torn apart because of conflicting agendas. The character Anse, who is the father in this novel, is probably more responsible more than any other for what eventually goes wrong with his family. We also need to remember that other members of the family are responsible for what happens to themselves. I speak here about the way they allow their father to take advantage of them. If one was to look at the disasters that tak...

As I Lay Dying The Love Of Family
473 wordsAh, love. Love is so often a theme in many a well-read novel. In the story, As I Lay Dying, one very important underlying theme is not simply love, but the power to love. Some of the characters have this ability; some can only talk about it. Perhaps more than anyone, Addie and Jewel have this power- one which Jewel, by saving his mother twice, merges with his power to act. As the Bible would have it, he does "not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth" (1 John 3: 18). Jewel, A...

Book Of Job Lay Dying
1,386 wordsSince its original publication in 1930, the novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner has drawn much exploration and critique. Though this analysis is very far reaching and broad in topic, one interesting route of investigation is the novels connection to the Old Testament. One does not have to be a Christian to study the similarities in theme; there are very many occurrences of biblical subject matter and correlation, these having been studied by student and scholar alike. The Old Testament is k...

Violence On Television Effects Of Violence
1,299 wordsTelevision Violence Effects One of the most compelling problems I have found is that there is too much violence shown in television shows. As a father it is my responsibility to censor and educate my children on the positive and negative aspects of watching certain television shows. I believe the censorship must take place at an early age in life in order to create a firm foundation for them to grow. In my opinion, too much violence on television can influence children to grow up and to commit c...

Sound And The Fury Lay Dying
956 wordsThe Women of Yoknapatawpha County Faulkner's intrinsic portrayal of his characters using his signature stream of consciousness style left much room for discussion on the true nature of his characters, however his portrayal of women was obviously that of despair as the female characters never transcended their lowly confinement. Caddy Compson was a victim of the dysfunctional family, whose attempt to reject it landed her even worse off. Addie Bundren was also a victim, a victim of an indolent hus...

Rest Of The Family Lay Dying
1,059 wordsThe differences between the two novels Women of Brewster's place by Gloria Naylor and As I lay dying by William Faulkner are many and varied. They differ in their tone, style, handling of characters and overall continuity. That, however, is not the topic of this essay. What I will be assessing is how these two authors handle the theme of family. Do they find that family is a support or a trap for the individuals in the story? Maybe both. Do they differ in their way of thinking or are they of one...
