Paul’s moment of denial that I captured is him on a day
coach on his way to Jersey. He was ashamed of himself and how dirty he looked. He
could have been able to clean himself easily with his money he stole, but he
decided to stay grimy and uncomfortable.
He was subconscious of his own appearance and didn't want the other
passengers on the coach to judge him and his filth. “Paul ha slept very little,
and had felt grimy and uncomfortable.” Paul’s case, pg. 273.
Elisa had a moment of denial during the end of the story
when she passed the chrysanthemums on the road. She didn't want to see them
because she knew that the tinker threw them out and kept the pot. She still
looked but she avoided looking at the tinker’s wagon. She tried to deny herself
from the knowledge of the tinker disregarding the flowers which represented to
her that he didn't respect her. “Far ahead on the road Elisa saw a dark speck.
She knew.” The Chrysanthemums, pg. 358.
Colonel Sartoris didn't tell on his father when he was in
court. He denied himself from the fact that he wanted to do the right thing but
he also didn't want to harm his family. He was subconscious about the fact that
his father did burn down the barn and that he knew that he did, but he didn't say
anything about it which gave him grief.”… the voices coming to him again
through the smell of cheese and sealed meat, the fear and despair and the old
grief of blood” Barn Burning, pg. 328.
