I love Faulkner. He knows how to use symbolism better than any writer I can think of. So many characters, names, objects and settings will evoke a subconscious image of something of importance to the story. I remember "Light in August" vividly to this day and I read it 30 years ago.
My son just finished "To Kill a Mockingbird". It was great re-reading that and then going over the meaning of the symbols and the significance of the book.
