Based on the handout we received on the 17th, entitled Modernism and Postmodernism, which of the seven characteristics of modernism are apparent in William Faulkner's Light In August?
I think one of the most apparent Modernist characteristic in the Light in August was Faulkner's use of multiple narrated stories blending between third person narrations and individual perspectives and thinking.
Exactly, Faulkner's modernist writing style allows the reader to experience an array of new perspectives, rather than just incorporating a single one sided character.
I as well agree because Faulkner does seem to convey different forms of writing to engage the reader. Also letting us get to actual know what the character is feeling and/or thinking.
I agree with all of you, with the varies perspective being given to the reader at once we are able to anticipate more and get to know different characters simultaneously.
Yep, I like how Faulkner incorporates the perspective of the same characters, but from the past, such as the flashback of Christmas’s irregular childhood.

ReplyDeleteI agree Alexis. Faulkner does present multiple point of views in the book. He shows how each of the major characters are feeling.

DeleteTrue, I would like to know what type of different “engaging forms of writing” you think he writes, just curious.
