Light in August is a novel written by William Faulkner in 1932. It is an exploration of racial and biracial issues in the Southern United States and follows the story of an orphaned biracial child who is adopted by abusive parents who are fanatically religious. Joe grows up with a deep resentment of all things religious and may even kill his girlfriend, Joanna, when she turns to religion to deal with their problems. | |

And Now for Someone Completely Different | |
| Light in August / int_7bf14666 | comment |
And Now for Someone Completely Different: Near the end of the novel, the narrative focus suddenly shifts to Percy Grimm, who has been of no significance to the story up to that point (but who will soon become very significant). | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Light in August / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Joe Brown is forced to flee town, but he basically gets away with everything he does, including possibly Joanna's murder, for which he was just as viable of a suspect as the person who actually took the blame for it. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Light in August / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Mr. McEachern is abusive towards Joe and Mrs. McEachern is something of an enabler, causing Joe to hate her even more than Mr. McEachern. | |

HappyEnding | |
| Light in August / int_fec2b522 | comment |
Happy Ending: Although it's not a classic happy ending, there is a little hope—Lena is actively searching for her place in the world rather than constantly running and denying like Joe Christmas. This suggests that maybe her life won't be so tragic, that maybe she'll be able to begin again. | |
