This paper aims to solve the inconsistency of some Faulknerian characters through intertextuality. For example, some critics have pointed out that Narcissa Benbow of Sanctuary is an unfavorable and even vicious person, while Narcy of Sartoris is a generous and sympathetic woman. “There Was a Queen.” shows the growing process of Narcy. Here, Narcy becomes the helpless victim of a federal agent who threatens to disclose her own shameful secret. Narcy sleeps with the agent to conceal the secret. Through this terrible experience, Narcy comes to learn that this world is not composed of just white and black. That she should be more humble and precautious in judging others. Similarly, Carothers Edmonds of Go Down, Moses is considered the main villain of “Delta Autumn” who discards his love and his own son. But this negative estimation of him cannot be in harmony with the image of Roth of “the Fire and the Hearth”. In the latter, Roth is depicted as a considerate, generous and sincere man who takes pains to prevent the impending divorce of an old black couple. This means Roth has grown into a better and sincerer man through his experience. In conclusion, intertextuality is a key to solve some incongruities of Faulkner's characterization. Through it, we can fill up the untold side of the story, and understand the processes and causes of the growth of some characters.
