The Evening Sun

The Evening Sun by William Faulkner is a real interesting story which teaches us and shows us how things used to be earlier in the days when there were no equal opportunities depending on your race and social class. At the same time it makes us realize how hard things used to be and how the man used to care so much about their pride and honor to the point that they were willing to kill for it. In the story the protagonist Nancy was a servant that used to go every Monday to the river to wash clothes. The family that she worked for was very good with her they even let her stayed on the house once she started to have problems with her husband. One day she came to her house and her husband Jesus sees that she was pregnant and he knew it was not from him which made him furious. She was pregnant from a white man which she used to have sexual relations for money which makes us see the point of prostitution in the story. After Jesus found out she was scared for her life as for the white man’s life too to the point that she would not go home by herself. She was so scared that Jesus would off appear from nowhere that the man of the family which she used to work for had to walk her home and that brought conflict with the lady of the house which got jealous for her husband having those attentions with Nancy.
