Light in August - Hightower's Epiphany           Most criticism concerning Faulkner's novel, Light in August, usually considers the character of Joe Christmas.

“….you learned very quickly from the other children at school that Catholics couldn’t get jobs in a whole range of occupations.” In the 1960’s the government built a new city called Craigavon in the county of Derry, but only built 5 Catholic schools, despite the fact that 48% of children in Northern Ireland were Catholics.

Miss Emily Grierson, the leading character in “A Rose for Emily”, is a bizarre woman to say the least. Faulkner begins this story with Miss Emily’s funeral, and continues to tell about the interesting events in her life.
