But unfortunately he wasn't able to and failed. Once Faulkner stopped trying to be something he wasn't he was able to produce amazing things. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25186?scroll_to=527053 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25186?scroll_to=527053 Wed, 25 May 2016 23:17:30 -0400 Mr. Inge isn't just describing how "genius" Faulkner's writing is, but also how much it's filled with "Southern literature and history. To the point where trying to explain it, isn't possible for Mr. Inge. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25186?scroll_to=527051 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25186?scroll_to=527051 Wed, 25 May 2016 23:06:01 -0400 Faulkner is saying that sometimes you have to think outside the box or "be bold" to write something great. He then talks about how Shakespeare changed the whole way of writing from his "modern literary" themes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25186?scroll_to=527045 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25186?scroll_to=527045 Wed, 25 May 2016 22:55:15 -0400 When Faulkner wrote he believed that everything before him was not written powerful, irresistible enough to captivate the readers. Basically to upscale the writers of the past to force them all to write better. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25186?scroll_to=527044 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25186?scroll_to=527044 Wed, 25 May 2016 22:52:51 -0400
