Faulkner is obsessed with the past and its recapturing. He recaptures the past via
consciousness and via imagination. Faulker describes a kind of civilization which is
neither industrial nor primitive but it is agrarian which is described as pre-feudal
based on slavery which showed no kind of progress, collapsed under the Civil War.

Sex degenerates into lust or it is a way of passing type

Women presented in somber colors (they are degraded or they ferocious)
No room for romance or actual love
No domestic felocity (breeding)
Frustrated world
No present, only past
The effort to make the past line absorbs the present
The distinction between past-present-future is blurred
The plot which is more developed through the chars; what happens is more
important than to whom happens

The subject is made up of mystery, crime, ghostline, characters, various

happenings.
There is no clear distinction between good-evil. WFs chars are above the good-evil
distinction. They are not moralist characters.
