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...

Points Of View Dewey Dell
1,045 wordster> Through the use of many characters monologues the narrative point of view presents an objective view of what really happened.

There are many monologues by many different people, often with opposing ideas and beliefs. Together the...

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...

Light In August Sound And The Fury
1,060 wordsWhat Time Is It? Faulkner's Representation of Time Faulkner's representation of time in As I Lay Dying, Light in August, and The Sound and the Fury is tangled and inconsistent. He switches back and forth between the distant past, the recent past, and the future, so it is sometimes difficult for the reader to keep track of the events happening within the novel. Why does Faulkner make the reader reach so far just to understand a story? Why do people read Faulkner if it is so dense and far-reaching...

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...
