this is a quote from the above listed website:


While reading works written by William Faulkner an individual may notice that the female characters he creates have distinct characteristics. Upon closer examination, it is apparent that Faulkner does indeed represent women in a particular way throughout his novels. This notion is especially evident in Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying through his portrayal of the major female characters in these works. Looking at Faulkner's literature from a feminist perspective helps to pinpoint exactly how women are represented. In other words, it is necessary to examine how specifically women's lives are portrayed in the works, whether or not the women in the works accept their roles, the relationships between men and women, and also the extent to which the particular work challenges or affirms traditional ideas about women. Resources such as Catherine Baum's Critical Essays on William Faulkner: The Compson Family and Irving Malin's William Faulkner: An interpretation are especially helpful in answering these leading questions.

Upon completion of intensive research on the subject of Faulkner's representation of women, it is clear that the women in his novels are portrayed as the "driving force" in the lives of those around them, but at the same time, as "objects" in the eyes of men. Information from Baum's essays indicates that women accept these roles as they are often in a desperate search for love. As far as intimate relationships go between men and women in Faulkner's novels, it is clear that there is a double standard for the way a women acts when she is in a relationship and the way that a man acts in a relationship. It also seems as though men do not acknowledge the value of a close relationship as readily as do women. Upon careful analysis it is apparent that, although we may feel that these roles do not necessarily make them happy, the women in Faulkner's novels do accept their roles, however unwillingly that it may occur.
