Paper Summary:

This paper discusses and analyzes both Faulkner's and Toomer's works, which include characters who are in some way alienated from society because of their differences from the mainstream. It offers examples from the texts, highlighting characters affected by racism and sexual identity.

From the Paper:

"Fern's identity, however, lies much deeper than her eyes and beauty for "like her face, the whole countryside seemed to flow into her eyes" and "through her eyes she is filled, informed, and incarnates the mystery of the universe." Her complex identity also comes from the mixture of African, Georgian and Judaism. Because of the way that men viewed Fern, they "were everlastingly bringing her their bodies," as well as other gifts and money, instead of love and care. They see her a part, separate, untouchable as a virgin"
