ESSAY ON: "Light In August" - Faulkner's Women Characters

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: 4 pages in length. While Faulkner may be fair to his women characters in the context of his quest to portray realism, he does not go too far beyond that stringent barrier to flesh out a greater depth so they may escape the ever-present typecast existence they portray in Light in August. Both Lena Grove and Joanna Burden, for example, reflect women who – by virtue of a male dominated society punctuated with racial overtones – are wholly dependent upon men for their existence, no matter how paltry that may be. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
