Flem and the other Snopeses who appear in the story are described by the narrator as members of "a big family" who live in a group down by the river (165). They are mainly sharecroppers who move every year from farm to farm. According to the narrator, "they all looks alike, yet there ain't ere a two of them that claims brothers. They're always just cousins" (180). Over the course of his career Faulkner will invent a great many Snopeses.
