- Faulkner's great-grandfather, William Clark Faulkner, was the inspiration for Colonel John Sartoris, a character in several of his novels. Furthermore, Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County, the setting for most of his novels and short stories, was based upon Faulkner's real county, Lafayette. The name came from the bordering Yokona River that was once called the Yockney-Patafah.
- I thought it was really interesting how he used in his own life and the people around him as inspiration for his stories.
