Features: In The Temple, Faulkner depicted the indifference of society, the barriers between people, and the ugliness of the human heart, portraying the universal existence of "evil." In As I Lay Dying, Faulkner wrote about a group of real-life "ugly Americans." As I Lay Dying is one of Faulkner's masterpieces and an important novel in the " Yoknapatawpha Cycle." It tells the story of the Bundren family from the rural South, who embark on a "difficult journey" to honor their promise to their wife and transport her body back to their hometown for burial. Over the course of ten days, their journey is fraught with disasters: the coffin nearly gets swept away by floodwaters, the mule pulling the cart drowns, and the body is almost cremated in a fire. As a result, the eldest son loses a leg, the second son goes mad, the third son loses his beloved horse, the daughter fails to have an abortion and is instead raped by a druggist, the youngest son doesn’t get the small train he had hoped for, while the patriarch, Bundren, gets false teeth and marries a new wife. The novel is entirely composed of fifty-nine interior monologues by the Bundren family, their neighbors, and related characters, narrating the story from multiple perspectives. It is another masterpiece of Faulkner's use of multiple-point-of-view narration and stream-of-consciousness technique.
