Go down Moses” is one of the many slave spiritual songs reflecting how slaves felt during their time of slavery. As many of the slave spiritual songs, it reflects the feelings and desires of a better life many slaves wanted.

William Faulkner wrote in his 1951 novel, Requiem for a Nun, “the past is never dead. It’s not even past.” This sentiment recurs in Go Down, Moses, which attempts to chronicle the legacies of Lucius McCaslin and his descendants.

In a series of stories, Faulkner introduces Ike, who is met with moral conflicting issues throughout the book. Faulkner alludes to many

unknown to me. Marilyn Monroe once said, “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they 're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” With all my ups and downs, my mistakes, and my responsibilities I deem I have matured as an individual. Psychologically maturity is the ability to react to
