* MentalHandicapMoralDeficiency: Faulkner's novels are populated with mentally disabled individuals who are {{BlackSheep}} of their families both because of their handicaps and their immoral behavior. Notable examples include the mentally retarded Benjy Compson, who was castrated for (allegedly) attempting to rape a neighbor's girl in ''Literature/TheSoundAndTheFury'', Ike Snopes of ''The Hamlet'', who was barely capable of speaking more than his own name and who became locally famous for having sexual relations with a neighbor's cow, and the last member of the Sutpen family, Jim Bond, is a severely retarded man who lives like an animal on what's left of the family plantation in ''Literature/AbsalomAbsalom''.
