William Faulkner/ Comparing Short Stories
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page analysis of two of William Faulkner's short stories, 'Barn Burning' and 'That Evening Sun.' In each of these stories, Faulkner addresses the economic structure of the South as a way of illustrating the social pressures that served to keep segments of the population oppressed. Despite this similarity, however, each story has diametrically opposed effects in that 'That Evening Sun' illustrates the injustice of oppression against poor blacks, yet 'Barn Burning' displays that the oppression that affected the poor whites was largely brought on by the father of the family quite intentionally.
