2940 Cultural Issues Age Rite of passage

Any challenge or ritualized moment in which a person goes from child to adult.

For example, Lucius winning the horse race in The Reivers (274). JB

3826 Themes and Motifs Absence/Loss Losing vs never having

Added for when Quentin makes the observation, about a man who castrated himself, "It's not not having them. It's never to have had them." I believe similar ideas crop up elsewhere in Faulkner - distinguishing between having and losing, or never having in the first place. JBP
