The main idea presented  in William Faulkner's  acceptance speech  in  the  Nobel Prize  for literature regarding the manner  in which  the preservation  of  mankind  is  the responsibility  of  the writer ,  how  man-kind should  succeed and bear  all  the conflicts of  the heart ,  and it  is  the duty  of  the writer  to  write  about  these things . He identified the subject  as  the conflict  between  the human heart and the human  himself. In  Williams’s speech ,  he connects the purpose  of  the protection  of  writers and the safeguarding of  mankind .  He formulates the writers believe that for mankind  to triumph  and endure ,  writers have  to  obligate  to writing the issue  of  mankind 's  conflicts .  He does  not  only make it  their  duty but also inspire  them to a  paragon  of a  vast writer . He  is  asserting that the writer  currently  does no longer centers on  issues  that can be  known  by  all .  He says each individual  can comprehend the love ,  mercy ,  sacrifice , etc. as  we go  through these things  in  life . Faulkner  offers the writers guidance that when they  are  writing ,  they  should  write  about  the heart , from the heart ,  and for the heart .  He ,  therefore ,  succeeds  his  speech 's purposed goal  by  using letters  of  support  to  change writers  to write  with  compassion and  from  the heart , by  use  of antonyms all  over his  speech  to  show  his  contrasting idea and  to  stress  his idea for writers  to be  good writers ,  and using same sentence structure  to  stress the significance  of a  writer 's  inspiration towards a  character . In  the pieces  of  fiction  that are  either  assigned  or unassigned,  we end  up  becoming the witnesses  to  the struggle  of a  character  with himself  and the end outcome  of  the struggle  that shows the real character . In  this  assigned  piece  of  fiction , William Faulkner  reveals  his  own character  with  the struggle he used  to  achieve  his  works  of  literature .  Having been born  in Mississippi , Faulkner relied  heavily  at  times  on  family teachings for  his  works  of  literature ;  he  relied  even more  broadly from his skills  of his geographic  region and also  from his  sharp approach into  human nature .  He ,  therefore ,  had the experiences  as  he grew up  especially the family knowledge and teachings .  These teachings ,  experiences and knowledge  from his  family became the basis  of  most  of his  novel 's  main characters . Faulkner isolated  in a  tiny southern town , in a  way ,  developed and learned effectively  to  use  his  approach  into  human character  as  he stayed watching the world  around him.  He made use  of  the things he observed  in  the lives  of  simple individuals  with  modest needs  to make the realistic  composite  characters whose presences so fier.

1. The
main
idea
presented
in William Faulkner's
acceptance
speech
in
the
Nobel Prize
for
literature
regarding
the
manner
in which
the
preservation
of
mankind
is
the
responsibility
of
the
writer

2. ,
how
man-kind should
succeed
and
bear
all
the
conflicts
of
the
heart
,
and
it
is
the
duty
of
the
writer
to
write
about
these
things
.
He

3. identified
the
subject
as
the
conflict
between
the
human
heart
and
the
human
himself. In
Williams’s
speech
,
he
connects
the
purpose
of
the
protection

4. of
writers
and
the
safeguarding of
mankind
.
He
formulates
the
writers
believe
that
for
mankind
to triumph
and
endure
,
writers
have
to
obligate
to
writing

5. the
issue
of
mankind
's
conflicts
.
He
does
not
only
make
it
their
duty
but also
inspire
them to a
paragon
of a
vast
writer
.
He
is
asserting
that
the

6. writer
currently
does
no
longer
centers
on
issues
that can be
known
by
all
.
He
says
each
individual
can
comprehend
the
love
,
mercy
,
sacrifice
, etc. as
we

7. go
through
these
things
in
life
. Faulkner
offers
the
writers
guidance
that
when
they
are
writing
,
they
should
write
about
the
heart
, from
the
heart
,

8. and
for
the
heart
.
He
,
therefore
,
succeeds
his
speech
's
purposed
goal
by
using
letters
of
support
to
change
writers
to
write
with
compassion
and
from

9. the
heart
, by
use
of antonyms
all
over his
speech
to
show
his
contrasting
idea
and
to
stress
his
idea
for
writers
to be
good
writers
,
and
using
same

10. sentence
structure
to
stress
the
significance
of a
writer
's
inspiration
towards a
character
.
In
the
pieces
of
fiction
that are
either
assigned
or
unassigned,
we
end
up
becoming
the
witnesses
to

11. the
struggle
of a
character
with himself
and
the
end
outcome
of
the
struggle
that
shows
the
real
character
. In
this
assigned
piece
of
fiction
, William Faulkner
reveals
his
own

12. character
with
the
struggle
he
used
to
achieve
his
works
of
literature
.
Having
been
born
in
Mississippi
, Faulkner relied
heavily
at
times
on
family
teachings
for
his
works
of
literature
;

13. he
relied
even
more
broadly from his
skills
of his geographic
region
and
also
from his
sharp
approach
into
human
nature
.
He
,
therefore
,
had
the
experiences
as
he
grew
up

14. especially
the
family
knowledge
and
teachings
.
These
teachings
,
experiences
and
knowledge
from his
family
became
the
basis
of
most
of his
novel
's
main
characters
. Faulkner

15. isolated
in a
tiny
southern
town
, in a
way
,
developed
and
learned
effectively
to
use
his
approach
into
human
character
as
he
stayed
watching
the
world
around him.
He

16. made
use
of
the
things
he
observed
in
the
lives
of
simple
individuals
with
modest
needs
to
make
the
realistic
composite
characters
whose
presences
so

17. fiercely
dominate
his
best
works
.
In his quote "The Only Thing Worth Writing About Is The
Human Heart In
Conflict
With Itself" Faulkner
was
signifying
that
the
foundation
of
good
fiction
, be
it
poetry
or
else
prose,
comes
from
inside

18. ,
and
that
inner
conflict
is
the
groundwork
of
nearly
all
significant
pieces
of
literature
.
This
does
not
signify
that
outer
conflicts
are not
essential

19. ;
relatively
,
it
recommend
that
they
are
significant
,
but
it's
how
the
characters
compact with them
that
creates
an
excellent
piece
of
fiction
.
This
is
for

20. the
reason
that
writing
which
get
s
to
the
reader
on an
emotional
or
even
spiritual
level is
more
than
powerful
,
and
will
remain
in
the
mind
longer than
writing

21. that
compact
exclusively
with
outer
conflicts
.
The
statement
was
made
when
the
Nagasaki
and
Hiroshima bombs
had
barely
cooled
in
the
atomic
era
.
His

22. humility
to
human
life
is
especially
shown
in
the
speech
when
he
said
, "
I
feel
that
this
award
was
not
made
to me as a
man
,
but
to my

23. work
--
life
's
work
in
the
agony
and
sweat
of
the
human
spirit
, not
for
glory
and
least
of
all
for
profit
,
but
to

24. create
out of
the
materials
of
the
human
spirit
something which
did
not
exist
before
".
The
phrase
from his
speech
reveals
his
character
as
wanting
to
make
contributions
to
the

25. human
race
and
not
for
his
yearning
for
fame
in
the
field
of
literature
.
Faulkner
uses
antonyms
all
through his
speech
to
signify
his
distinct
view
and
to
stress

26. on his
idea
of
writers
to
become
better
writers
. In
paragraph
three,
sentence
two,
he
states
, "
He
writes
not of
love
but
of
lust
, of
defeats
in which nobody
loses
anything of
value
, of
victories
without
hope

27. and
worst
of
all
, without
pity
or
compassion
.
" Faulkner is
saying
that
to
become
a
good
writer
, a
person
must
write
of
love
and
write
from
the
heart

28. . Faulkner
uses
juxtaposition to
compare
the
qualities
of
what
modern
writers
' write
about
; "
lust
," "
defeats
," "
victories
without
hope
,"
and
"without
pity
or
compassion
."
Compared
to
the

29. qualities
on
what
they
should
have
written
which is about
love
and
from
the
heart
. In
the
final
sentence
of
the
paragraph
he
said
, "He
writes
not of
the

30. heart
but
of
the
glands
."
He
goes
into
depth
into his
idea
of
comparing
to
what
they
should
write
about
.
He
uses
juxtaposition, "not of
the
heart
but

31. of
the
glands
," two
different
organs
.
He
attempts
to
tell
writers
to
write
about
things
they
should not
write
about
and
tell
them
what
to
write

32. about
.
"
I
feel
that
this
award
was
not
made
to me as a
man
,
but
to my
work
–
life
's
work
in
the
agony
and
sweat
of
the

33. human
spirit
, not
for
glory
and
least
of
all
for
profit
,
but
to
create
out of
the
materials
of
the
human
spirit
something which
did
not
exist
before

34. ".
He
,
therefore
,
sees
a
writer
as a
booster
of
the
human
heart
, which
is
shown
in
the
character
presented
by him.
