Faulkner allows Sutpen to rise in social position by attempting to make him a part of Southern society that is plainly biased and preoccupied with a person’s social footing. Sutpen thereby is already
the ultimate goal of solving the mystery. Whatever their method may be to get to the conclusion is not very important, the steps to get there are what draws the readers in.

A critical study has been carried out in the earlier chapters to explore Flannery O'Connor's fictional works with respect to the study of human relationships and the nuances of the truth-seeking concerns exemplifying interesting realities. The study recorded in this thesis illustrates that there is a repetition of retreat patterns in human relationships on the canvas of the familial, societal and spiritual altitudes.
