The comic vision represented in humor is dramatized in Faulkner's characters and works. Faulkner, the recognized genius of tragic art, is also a master of comic forms. To him reality is always a continuum or a totality into which laughter and tears blend and merge. Through his canon, his vision of humanity shows a change from outrage to affirmation. And humor plays a very important role in his shifting attitudes toward men and his comic vision. Faulkner used humor not only as a comic relief from grotesque and horrible situations but also as a technique for artistic accomplishments; he made humor integral to his themes, characters, and narrative structures. For Example, humor functions as a device for characterization in The Sound and Fury. Major themes of As I Lay Dying and The Sound and Fury can also be traced through humor. Moreover, Faulkner creates a tight structural coherence in The Hamlet, using humor as a unifying tool. Besides those functions, humor in Faulkner's novels reveals the reality of our lift. and it gives us the force to conquer our follies and the human conditions we cannot escape from so long as we exist. Moreover, his humor is presented as a better way to endure and to survive. Ultimately the full meaning of artistic function of humor in Faulkner's novels lies in the reader's transformation through the realization of humor as a tool to face the sobering reality of existence.
