In Faulkner’s Nobel Prize acceptance speech, he allows us to
believe there is hope and that man will endure all the evil and troubles in
their life. In his writing I don’t see this though. In each novel, there are such
depressing circumstances and usually the novel doesn’t end with a very hopeful
feeling. Darl ends up in a nut house, Caddie
isn’t reunited with her daughter, Goodwin isn’t freed, Quinten kills himself,
Addie enjoyed punishing her students—the list goes on. Nothing good seems to come from his novels,
yet from his speech, maybe Faulkner wanted us to see the evils in humanity. Even though there are such down right rotten
people out there, not all of man is doomed and we will endure throughout time.
