Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 20
page paper discussing the progress of family dysfunction in the 20th century using the
characters of Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury" and Sam Shepard's "Buried Child."
These characters present an overwhelmingly depressing picture of the dysfunction of the
family as it has progressed with alcohol as its origin. The Compsons are no more effective
than is Dodge and Halie's family, but family members are more constrained by societal
norms of what a "family" should be. They do at least maintain a pretense of being a unit,
even though they have ejected Caddie. Shepard's family also ejects the most sane of its
number in excluding Vince and refusing to acknowledge him. Taken together, the two
families demonstrate the lengths to which they will go to protect their resident alcoholic
and join with him in his own dependency. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
