Abstract
During the 1930s and 1940s distinguished novelist William Faulkner's most valuable short stories which have become an essential part of his Yoknapatawpha shot to fame. His love and hate toward the South makes his work puzzling and complicated. Through a detailed analysis of Barn Burning, Dry September and Wash, one can see the southerners' loss of themselves, anxiety and bad faith in this material world, which is the representative existential theme of nothingness.
