Family Dysfunction as Presented by Faulkner and Shepard
[ send me this paper ]
A 20 page paper discussing the progress of family dysfunction in the 20th century using the characters of Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury" and Sam Shepard's "Buried Child." These characters present an overwhelmingly depressing picture of the dysfunction of the family as it has progressed with alcohol as its origin. The Compsons are no more effective than is Dodge and Halie's family, but family members are more constrained by societal norms of what a "family" should be. They do at least maintain a pretense of being a unit, even though they have ejected Caddie. Shepard's family also ejects the most sane of its number in excluding Vince and refusing to acknowledge him. Taken together, the two families demonstrate the lengths to which they will go to protect their resident alcoholic and join with him in his own dependency. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Family In Faulkner
[ send me this paper ]
The family in America has many definitions and connotations, the most prevalent being 'dysfunctional'. In William Faulkner's The Sound And The Fury and Absalom! Absalom! the family plays a significant role in the plot development as well as the characterizations of the family members. This 5 page paper argues that the dysfunctionality of the Sutpens is seen as greater than the Compsons merely because it was more public. The disintegration of both families is inevitable given the essence of the family structure. No additional sources are listed.

Family Values in Crane and Faulkner
[ send me this paper ]
A five page paper looking at Stephen Crane's novel Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and William Faulkner's short story "Barn Burning" in terms of the effect family values have on the youthful protagonists. The paper demonstrates that in both cases, the main characters were raised with extremely negative family values, but while Faulkner's character -- a boy -- was able to reverse that tendency, Crane's character -- a girl -- was unable to do so because she relied too heavily on others for her salvation. No additional sources.
