I need to construct a short literary analysis on the two short stories, “Barn Burning” and Cask of Amantillado” by William Faulkner. They both deal with crimes that essentially go unpunished and with the emotions that accompany these crimes. In what sense does each story’s use of point of view shape its treatment of the crime in question? For instance, how does point of view determine how much readers know about the motives for the crime, the crime basic circumstances, and the extent to which the crime is justified?
