faulkner to texas

I think that Faulkner does translate in Texas.  Although his writings take place in Mississippi, I feel like that his use of Southern Literature is a prime example of the Southern archetypes.  Texas doesn’t seem too much like Mississippi, but southern traditions go hand in hand in the south.  For example, their views on the help around the house, I feel like would be the same in Texas.  Another thing that translates to Texas from Faulkner, is the tradition to uphold the family name.  Just like in The Sound Of The Fury , Caddie’s promiscuity gives the family a bad name.  Texas is very conservative and I feel like this would apply to southern tradition here.  Another important southern tradition that I noticed is that religion is  very apparent in his books and short stories.  Texas is a very Christian state. 

All in all I think that Faulkner does translate to Texas, because Southern Literature is a very important genre in Literature.
