A man named Mr. Harris is telling the Justice of the Peace about his dispute with the boy's father, Abner Snopes, over a hog that invaded Harris's corn crop. Snopes is being accused by Mr. Harris of burning his barn over the incident. Harris wants the judge to summon the boy to give his testimony, and he does.

As the boy approaches, his father does not look at him; the boy knows that he is expected to lie. The judge asks for the boy's name, which he gives: The boy's name seems to influence Harris.

When the judge asks Harris if the boy should be questioned, Harris says no. The judge tells the elder Snopes that he cannot find against him, but that he needs to leave the area and not return. Snopes limps out of the courtroom to the taunts of 'barn burner' from a crowd. The boy charges one of them and is knocked down. He and his father leave in a wagon with the rest of their family.

The Snopes family sets out to find another place to live and work. They camp for the night, and the father starts up a small fire. The boy, referred to as 'Sarty' for short, thinks of his father sitting at similar fires years before during the Civil War as he fled from soldiers on both sides. However, Abner breaks Sarty's reverie when he pulls him aside and slaps him.

Abner knows that the boy would have told the judge the truth about what happened to Harris's barn. He warns the boy to defend his own 'blood. The Snopes family arrives at a large farm where Abner has made arrangements to sharecrop with Major de Spain, a wealthy landowner. Abner walks through some horse droppings on the way to the door and tracks up a fancy rug in the house.

Later, Major de Spain brings him the rug and tells him he must clean it. Abner and his family work on it, but Major de Spain is not satisfied with the result, and he demands an additional 20 bushels of Abner's corn crop for damages. Abner and his sons travel back to town and Abner complains to the Justice of the Peace that the fee of 20 bushels is too high. The judge finds Snopes liable for the damages, but agrees that de Spain's figure is too high and reduces it to Snopes and his boys spend the day in town before returning home, where Abner begins gathering oil, presumably to set another fire.

Realizing that Sarty might warn someone, Abner orders Lennie, Sarty's mother, to restrain him. However, Sarty breaks free from his mother's grasp and warns de Spain.

Sarty then flees the farm. He pauses once when he hears gunshots, he trips and looks over his shoulder, and he calls out to his father, but all the while he continues to run and does not look back. Sarty is caught in a cycle of behavior that stems from having a prestigious family name while suffering under reduced economic circumstances. His father, Abner, quickly becomes resentful of any landowner who rents him a share to work on, and he inevitably provokes conflict with these owners by burning their barns.

Abner cannot break this cycle because his resentment gets the better of him every time the family tries to start over. Although Sarty knows what his father does is wrong and wants it to stop, he is both literally and figuratively constrained by his family from intervening in this cycle. He and the rest of his family are trapped until Sarty breaks free from his mother's grasp and warns de Spain. Although he regrets betraying his father he does not 'look back' to see what has happened to him except for a quick pause after he hears gunshots. Sarty's not looking back can also be seen as a figurative reference to leaving behind a family legacy that has come to ruin.

William Faulkner's short story 'Barn Burning' tells the story of a boy, Sarty Snopes, and his father, Abner, a poor tenant farmer who gets into arguments with landowners and burns their barns. His resentment toward these landowners stems from a proud family history that does not align with the Snopes family's current circumstances, and Sarty senses this. He knows that this resentment has trapped the Snopes family in a cycle of poverty and despair. In order to break this cycle, Sarty warns a landowner of his father's intent and flees.

This narrative arc reflects some of Faulkner's recurrent themes, such as family legacy , honor , and shame. To unlock this lesson you must be a Study. Login here for access.
