Complex Interweaving in Dry September

The situation is never like that both the sexes of blacks will be treated equally, just on the basis of racial prejudice but the situation for black woman was never meant to be good ,it is even bitter for her than black man. Therefore being 'black' and a 'female', she is in double jeopardy. .
             The ideal white man in the story is McLendon, who holds his power at the supreme, he is dominating on every black, every white who is below his class and even his own wife, who being above the black man though is entangled into the patriarchy of whites is nothing but a mere property of white man. McLendon is the leader of lynching done to Will Mayes, he did what he thought was just, Will Mayes is killed without being proved the culprit of Minnie Cooper's rape. The rumour that it has been so, is enough for him to murder Will Mayes. Because even the rumour of black man claiming his property i.e. white woman, is a threat to his dominance. .
             The actual murder scene is omitted from the story, the clear reason for it would be that racial and sexual violence were enough prevalent in the story that murder would have been possibly guessed by any reader. As Faulkner is presenting his story in post-bellum America, where the outside world is thinking or even the North Americans were considering that the blacks were safe in South America, after slavery being abolished and equal rights being given to them. But the reality was something else, it was the time of reconstruction period, where the notions towards the blacks were renewing in the laws, they were to be considered as equal as any other white man, but the people of Confederacy, who were defeated by the "UNION'' in the civil war had to give up slavery, were against it and made vigilante groups such as Ku Klux Klan, which was first found in 1865. These people took the charge of killing black Americans. These people wanted to restore the white supremacy by the help of lynching.
