Biography:
Roth Edmonds' father is not named in this story, and only mentioned when Lucas tries to use him to convince Roth to lend him money: "Your paw would a lent me three hundred dollars is he was here" (227). But it turns out that Faulkner had a lot more to say about the relationship between Lucas and Zachary Edmonds. When he revised this story as part of the novel Go Down, Moses, he developed the relationship between him and Lucas - both as landlord and tenant, and as the 'white' and 'black' descendants of a common ancestor - very powerfully.
