Was he like part of the romantics or realist. Or something completely different. I need to know for this paper I am writing so thanks for any help?

He was realist, who exposed the sufferings, ironies, hypocrisies, and inequities of an absurd society. He tried to reveal through fiction, the nature of humans and the particular social world they lived in.

William Faulkner was one of the great American novelists of all time. He set his various novels in the deep South setting of Yoknapatawpha County, and he carefully examined the themes of corruption and decay in and among family settings, which served as a metaphor for the corruption and decay of the old South that he knew and loved.
I don't know what his philosophy was, but I would characterize him as a realist.

In my opinion he was a kind of absurdist/existentialist in the same way as Camus and Becket.
But not so extreme.
