Race and Gender in Light in August William Faulkner originated from an American South foundation and in his time, composed various books that included topics of male centric force and battles brought about by race. Joe Christmas assumes an abnormal job in Light in August – in him, Faulkner makes a focal character with not many recovering qualities. Rather, Christmas is sexist, remorseless and more than that, a killer. This exposition will analyze how Faulkner treats race, sex and sexual orientation in Light in August, regardless of whether it was simply illustrative of the hour of distribution or a more profound analysis focused on American culture of the 1920s and earlier. It will likewise take a gander at the reasons for Joe Christmas being such a pernicious man, for example, his childhood and the individuals around him. To give some recorded setting, Faulkner composed Light in August in 1932, during the Southern Renaissance of 1925-39 (Wittenberg, 1995, p. 148).
