    The Feminine Influence: Christmas and His Intense Misogyny “It was not the hard work which he hated‚ nor the punishment and injustice. He was used to that before he ever saw either of them. He expected no less‚ and so he was neither outraged nor surprised. It was the woman: that soft kindness which he believed himself doomed to be forever victim of and which he hated worse than he did the hard and ruthless justice of men.” (Faulkner 158) In William Faulkner’s Light in August‚ Joe Christmas’s
