I realized after I sent my comment I had not read the story carefully and the wife I referred to was the wife of the sheriff. Sorry for the confusing question.

You guys deserve more credit 700 views is too little for this quality of the video. Good luck in the future.

Much appreciated!

I apologize in advance for the novel, but I just felt the need to share this, as maybe you will find some value in knowing some about a new member of your audience. I have lived the bulk of my life having not known the power and effect, and the thrill, that literature has to offer. I was never much of a reader growing up. I was the student that would seek out sparknotes for school books and found them tedious and dry, or "un-cool" for the most part. It began with me stumbling onto Cormac McCarthy when I held a job that allowed enough free time where I had some options within reason, the chance to read being one, and so it was Cormac who was the first to breath the life of literature onto my dormant mind, who showed me what books can do that other mediums simply could not do or ever get at. And it knocked me right over the head. Changed my life. It wasn't long until I sought out his influences, landing at Joyce and Faulkner. So here I am, after only having read a few works by Faulkner so far, mostly short stories, and the only novel having been Light in August thus far (and as for Joyce, just Dubliners, which I have read over twice now). And of course these utterly blew me away- by the prose, the characters. But let me say, the analysis and breakdown here is not only incredibly useful and well done, but it is also through (I suppose this is what I mean to communicate all along) this channel that makes the entirety of my experience with literature so connective and inviting and really completes something that was missing prior. Reading can be so very lonely and isolating, especially when reading some of the classics from past centuries, where I'd always look to find analysis on youtube and too often would be disappointed or distanced by the commentary found that would often be too dated for my liking, or unfamiliar. But being 25 years old now and with plenty of friends, to which unfortunately none enjoy literature, I feel like I have someone there to understand and converse with through this channel- and it feels so personal, and more importantly- so human. I'm just so very grateful for that. And having peeked about your channel and seeing there is a plethora of videos covering both Joyce and Faulkner, I cannot tell you how much that excites me. Beyond that too, it encourages me to continue reading, which can be so hard because in my environment I feel as if i'm the alone one doing so, but this channel makes me feel not so alone in this, and not only that, but excites me to keep on. To my benefit as well, you guys point out so much that I miss in the text- because these two legends are so difficult, and I am only somewhat bright. They are surely above my intellect I can admit that shamelessly. But you guys make me want to keep trying, and try harder. For instance here, I was simply ignorant of the timelines going on. I have so much to learn about literature. I think that's well enough. Still awake? Thank you CodeX Cantina. I look so very forward to advancing through all of your content, and growing as a reader.

What an incredibly thoughtful and personal thing to share. I would say we echo a similar experience with being able to talk about some of the books we read. Krypto and I did Star Wars and genre fiction for a while before I finally got him into Literature. Needless to say, I was very happy when I found an outlet to discuss this with someone.

@@TheCodeXCantina I could sense that through the videos I have come across so far, which is really quite a nice thing to see. It has me thinking of how I too can try to appeal to my friends, especially the ones that I detect have the potential for or have a strong appreciation for Genre Fiction like you mentioned, Game of Thrones and the like. I should be the bridge instead of waiting around for one to appear! In any case, great work here on the channel. Sound and the Fury is in the bullpen. I’ll see you two in a bit.

Amazing video! It helped me a lot for my studies and exams. Thanks a lot guys.

My pleasure. Can't get enough Faulkner.

I am an English teacher at an international school in Europe. My task is to expose 11/12 grade students to 20th century literature. I have paired this work with The Lottery and Joan Didion's essay On Morality. The package is proving quite challenging and satisfying for these young minds. I am a bit hesitant to use That Evening Sun because of the language - I am aware that some school districts have white-washed To Kill A Mockingbird...I went ahead anyway and discussed the language as part of the story, without which it would be difficult to appreciate the full extent of divide that was prevalent in Faulkner's time. Your analysis was wonderful and inspired me to include in in our class work.

Thank you soo much for this! I also love this story and am going to write a paper about it at my university here in Germany and your video offers a ton of ideas and points I can write about... I guess though that I would not put your video as reference... Do you guys have any sources / references of peer reviewed papers/ authors who deal with it? Or any idea where I can find good peer review papers about the story? After some research I found only few material/ papers about this specific short story of Faulkner (there is more about others). Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany! :-)

I’ve listed some sources for a Go Down, Moses project. I’ve read and been involved with a lot of Faulkner stuff though I can give you a specific source for this story so much as Faulkner as a whole: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4pry8aoYLydlJc.html

Hello guys: I just found your channel and have truly love & appreciate your very interesting & intelligent analysis of important classic literature. It's very thought provoking and insightful. Thank you so much. On another note, wondering if you could please analyze & comment on "Gone with the wind" by Margaret Mitchell. Would love to hear your take and understanding of that novel. Thank you, Mirian Hernández

I’ve heard that’s a popular book. There seems to be some elements that might not make it the best for our channel but our friend Brian at Bookish put out a video. Maybe it would help.

What do you mean by "you've heard it's a popular book"?? It was published in 1936 and it offers a very interesting historical background of the Old South and the American Civil War, racism and many related issues. When I heard your discussion on KZread about "A Rose to Emily", I couldn't help thinking about certain historical aspects on 'Gone with the wind'. Don't quite understand your premise in rejecting this most interesting proposal and making it sound like it's a book you're not very familiar with, or hardly know about. Please advise. Thank you Mirian Hernández

To be a play on words with the biblical figure I presume.

Why does Faulkner end his short story's so suddenly? I felt like we would see Nancy dead in the morning.

Heh, right? To be fair, I currently have planned a return to this story. After Krypto and I go through "The Sound and the Fury" which deals solely with the Compsons. I plan to return to this story and talk more about Mr. Compson's Fatalism and Mrs. Compson's helplessness and talk about how those concepts play a role in slavery and what Faulkner's view of the white community was in regards to their struggles. I think the ending kind of requires a chat about those concepts to help explain it further. I feel like you need to kind of chicken or egg this story with that novel. This is just such a complex story, we will do a return to this on the characters/ending for another video.
