Abstract
"The following Ralph Ellison quote is often found on the book jackets of William Faulkner's novels: "For all his concern with the South, Faulkner was actually seeking out the nature of man. Thus we must turn to him for that continuity of moral purpose which made for the greatness of our classics." In The sound and the fury and As I lay dying the South is central to his thematic intentions, and that South is in many ways a metaphor for man at large. However, there are aspects to both novels that comment specifically on the South and is regionally significant to that South, both Old and New. One aspect is the thematic centrality of female characters. female characters are the main vehicle through which Faulkner comments on the downfall of the Old South, provides criticisms regarding the direction of the New South and suggestions colored with his moral purpose for a better direction in which he would like to witness his beloved South take.
