  • Essay / The Wild Palms If I Forget You, Jerusalem by...

    "If a story is in you, it must come out" (William Faulkner, The Wild Palms [If I Forget You, Jerusalem]). An American writer of American and Southern literature, Faulkner was a spellbinding author known for his experimental style with perfect attention to usage and rhythm. Faulkner's works were heavily influenced by his personal interests, his history, and his personal view of faith. Being intensely rooted in old America, the America in which was shaped by the First World War, the works of fiction that were made liberated a perspective of life, depicting a drawn perspective according to which life seems disturbing and devoid of meaning. Faulkner's works gave an honest reality to history, a subject that really aroused interest, due to his belonging to the First World War generation. Faulkner made the courageous decision to join the Royal Air Force cadet pilots in Canada. Therefore, missing the war left a mark causing neglect, which Faulkner said was the greatest period of history ever known. This emphasized the feeling of emptiness which could be one of the factors that pushed Faulkner to create an entire social order and story to fill the void of emptiness. Illustrated through the novel Light In August, the protagonist missed World War I and lives in a life of absolute violence, the protagonist and Faulkner shared the dream of civil war. The South which was cut off and culturally fixed by its virtues and vices was Faulkner's entire life, for example the South, more specifically Mississippi, was a place where Faulkner had always lived and known. Sartoris deals with the Southern family in Jefferson, Mississippi, just after World War I. The Jeffersons who live under this...... middle of paper...... destiny. The protagonist describes having been pushed by an inner force to attend a dance, this force is not only interested in making his interior chronological in nature. Without the intention of educating the public with a theory of fate, destiny is only real when it is experienced when it is not known but only felt. Authors in general use their own personal exhibition as a muse, which seems to capture the authors' interest to the highest degree. . Faulkner uses a special interest in creating such drawing works for the eyes. Literature, like beliefs, interest, and compassion for history, leads readers to make an intellectual comparison of Faulkner's life with the characters that were created. In every published work there is a piece of Faulkner. Writing from compassion is like writing from the body, adding personal attachments is a technique used in Faulkner's novels..
