My thesis aims to explore the mother-daughter lineages in the structure of the Old and the New South as represented in Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind (1936) and in William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury (1929). I claim that the female protagonists in the novels–Katie Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind and Caroline Bascomb Compson in The Sound and the Fury–are victims of the societal and cultural pressures and expectations imposed on them by the southern society between the 1860s and 1920s.
