The first q and a I responded to on eNotes pertained to this novel of Faulkner, and I haven't seen any discussion on it since. I would like to hear some ideas about his awareness of his treatment of African Americans in the novel. Sure, Ringo is the smarter kid, but his unfailing loyalty certainly differs from what Twain does with a similar characteristic of Jim in Huck Finn. And the freed slaves marching to cross the river... Is there a noble desperation here or a senselessness to it, full of stereotypes that Faulkner can't escape? Posted by sagetrieb on Sep 26, 2007. |
