        <description><![CDATA[The story takes place in the city of Jefferson, county seat of fictional Yoknapaptawpha County, Mississippi, where so many of Faulkner's tales are set.  It is believed that the area he describes mirrors the northern Mississippi location where Faulkner spent most of his life.  Other works that are set in Jefferson include the reknowned &quot;A Rose for Emily&quot; and the full-length novel The Sound and the Fury.The timeframe of &quot;That...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are too many items that are potentially symbolic in this short story to really discuss them all in detail. Instead, let's focus on the most important symbols. The first comes in the title. The evening sun is setting. It symbolizes the end of an era—literally a day, but figuratively the time period that produced this situation. (Look at the changes mentioned in the first paragraph for examples.)

Next, consider Nancy's profession. It...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Well there are some symbols in the story, but I think mainly the people are symbols representative of the time.  Think of Mr. Stovell who presents as both the economic system (he is a cashier at the bank) and the religious institutions (he is a Baptist deacon) of the South, refuses to pay Nancy for her services.  Stovell is representative of all the bad in the South, and how the White take advantage of the Blacks, and don't get punished for...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The following is taken directly from enotes:

Race Relations
Faulkner, through his narrator, shows the willing blindness of Southerners to the injustices of their society.

Coming of Age/Loss of Innocence 
In ‘‘That Evening Sun,’’ Quentin Compson, the narrator, moves from childlike innocence toward a sadder but wiser adult experience in the course of the story.

Darkness and Violence
For Nancy "that evening sun'' represents the danger...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A brief discussion of the main characters in "That Evening Sun" can be found in the Characters section of the enotes study guide to the story: http://www.enotes.com/evening-sun/6983

Ten characters are listed there.

If you count every person mentioned in the story, there are a few more. There's Mr. Lovelady, who is "a short, dirty man who collected the Negro insurance." The husbands of the laundry women are mentioned as a group.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think that the theme of "The Evening Sun" is race relations, as it sets a backdrop for the whole story.  Even though race is not in the forefront, it is always in the characters minds, and therefore the readers mind.  For example, obviously, the first thing to come to mind is when Nancy is kicked down by Mr. STovell after he refuses to pay for her services.  And then, even though he knocked out her teeth, he is not sent to jail, Nancy is.]]></description>
