Literary analysis: Faulkners Barn Burning - by Randy Pinion - Helium Randy Pinion's image for: "Literary Analysis Faulkners Barn Burning" Caption: Location: Image by: In William Faulkner's seminal work, "Barn Burning," he presents a deep, multifaceted character in Abner Snopes and leaves him up to the reader to interpret and judge. Many early works about Snopes took him at face value. Past such satanic trappings, more is written on Faulkner's description of Snopes. Another, newer view of Abner Snopes sees him as a way of expressing the social and economic problems of the Deep South in the 1930s (Social Themes). Through all of these conflicting views on Snopes, an image begins to at last emerge for the reader of "Barn Burning." *Works CitedFaulkner, William.
