Didn’t catch the themes of angry faith until now. Christmas’ whole despair was rooted from faith, all of the men were giants who held bibles and followed the whispers of god no matter what. It’s very interesting how much they attempted to beat the will of god into him and instead forced out the devil.

I don’t recall ever reading a Faulkner book and this one is interesting. His storytelling is unique, working mostly from within each character and then switching perspectives. I feel like a spirit, quickly taking the inner life of a character we’ve met in a previous chapter and trying to understand them a little.

This story may just be spiraling towards an event. I’m not sure though. Curious.

So far okay.
