In William Faulkner’s Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech, he is very directive in who he is talking to. His intent is towards the young writers of the new generation. Faulkner believes that today’s young writers have forgotten the problems of the human heart. He is directing the young authors to create out of the materials of the human spirit by writing about courage, honor, hope, pride, compassion, pity, and sacrifice. William Faulkner’s main message he is trying to get out of his entire speech is for authors not to make the same mistakes others in Faulkner’s past had made, lack of writing straight from the heart. We have learned that Faulkner’s style of writing is giving the reader 100% of the “iceberg”. He always felt obligated to give the audience everything he knew and thought.
“That Evening Sun” by William Faulkner greatly demonstrates his message said in his 1949 Nobel Peace Prize Speech. Not only does Faulkner set up the entire story’s setting in the first paragraph, he uses binary opposition in the second paragraph to give the reader a better understanding of the setting in Jefferson. Unlike Ernest Hemingway, Faulkner’s style of writing from the heart prone him to give the whole “iceberg”. The author has the main character Nancy consistently state, “I ain’t nothing but a nigger” (Faulkner 168) to evince the reader of how Faulkner only wrote from the heart. One could assume how Faulkner felt when he grew up in the similar time period, and his expressions from his childhood are expressed on paper. Faulkner used the term called mindless writing to help convey his deepest and trues thoughts from his heart, because whatever was on his mind would simply be transferred from his heart to his mind to his pen to his paper.
