From the Paper:

"Before I begin a comparison of the black characters that are found in the two novels A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner and The Gilded Six-Bits by Zora Neale Hurston I would like to present a background for the development of the black history. Without a substantial understanding of their thought processes and assimilation within society it will become impossible to understand the intricacies that make the characters act in the manner that they do.
