By reading Sigmund Freud’s Family Romances, he pointed out “The liberation of an individual, as he grows up, from the authority of his parents is one of the most necessary though one of the most painful results brought about by the course of his development”, and “But as intellectual growth increases, the child cannot help discovering by degrees the category to which his parents belong. He gets to know other parents and compares them with his own, and so acquires the right to doubt the incomparable and unique quality which he had attributed to them”. Faulkner’s story made a pretty perfect example of Freud’s theory and illustrates Freud’s understanding of family, conflict, and maturation. In Faulkner’s Barn Burning, Faulkner through a child’s perspective of a child in the face of fair justice, family origin, other inner conflict and difficult choices. The father Abner Snopes temper, use stable burning way to solve the contradiction between with employers and neighbors. When the father had conflict with Mr. Harris, he hired people burned Harris’s stable, and therefore defendant to court. Satoris, his youngest son in the family, don’t want his father to be punished, looked at his father had to perjury. But in the heart of Satoris, this is contradictory. Know that his father’s approach is to violate laws and regulations, no moral, but struggled in the loyal family lineage and adhere to the suffering of justice. In the end, Satoris finally made a decision that escaped his family and told the true to the owner, but this cause his father Snopes’ death.
