…showed last 75 words of 1368 total…characters of Sarty and Janie are masterfully portrayed by William Faulkner and Zora Neale Hurston. Both authors capture the elements that matter most to the human heart: social and racial conflict, maturation, and determination. It is the presence of these eternal staples of the human condition that create a forever endearing quality to both works. Through these realistic characters and honest themes southern writing shines through at its best, and human nature at its truest.
