Southern gothic
Southern Gothic writers like William Faulkner, Truman Capote and Flannery O'Connor set dark and bizarre stories in rural American settings, drawing from Gothic fiction traditions but addressing the darkness within society. William Faulkner is particularly influential as he used the fictional Yoknapatawpha county in Mississippi as the setting for many of his stories featuring colorful and peculiar characters, often employing nonlinear flashbacks that blend past, present and future. Faulkner is credited with inspiring magical realism, exemplified by Gabriel Garcia Marquez's highly acclaimed novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Formalist criticism a rose for emily
This document provides a formalist criticism of the short story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. It summarizes key elements of the story including the plot, which follows Miss Emily from when she is first introduced after her father's death until she is found dead with the skeleton of her lover Homer Barron in her bedroom. The document also analyzes aspects like the point of view, characters, setting, themes of obsession and social conflict, and literary devices used in the story.
Stream of consciousness
Faulkner uses stream-of-consciousness (SC) in The Sound and the Fury to portray a post-Civil War Southern family through the perspectives of different characters. SC allows thoughts and memories to flow freely without chronology. Each of the four sections reflects the mindset of the narrator - Benjy's is simple, Quentin's is complex, Jason's is angry and single-minded, and Dilsey's is orderly. Faulkner aimed to show how the Compson family embodied the chaos of the South after the war as traditional values broke down. He uses SC to give insight into how characters viewed the period and its effects.
