Irving Howe points comments of Sam's role as a mentor as well as his place as the priest in the ceremony: "the boy's mentor, in the hunt and the acknowledged priest of the ceremony that could be held only in the forest" (William Faulkner: A Critical Study, 93). The symbolism of the characters and the events in Faulkner's short novel is

Crossing to that desk, these artifacts seemed to say, required both submission and opposition, and both of them in extreme degrees.

This man was younger; certainly younger
