What are we to take from this story? What is the central theme or message you got from the story?
What we can take from this story is the morality that Sartoris has. It is important to remain loyal to out family, our city and our country, but most importantly to be loyal to ourselves and our core values, In this story Sartoris have to make a desicion wheter to remain loyal to his family and lie, or to be truthful, honest not only with everyone else in court but mostly with himself. I think, this is just another story for us to remember the importance of having strong values and believes. So in order for us to remain calm and peaceful, we must act according to what we believe. During the story his father and his family remained him the importance of being loyal to the "blood" but apparenltley for sartoris is more important to remain loyal to his inner peace and stability.
Also that the world that sorround us is violent, unfair, problematic and creates conflicts we are always searching for making our lives better and that naive sense that is possible to change others. When Sartoris gets to deSpain house he got the feeling that we could change the ways his father was acting but at the end he realizes he could not do anything about his dad criminal behavior. Its only after he realizes he can not change anyone, that he can free himself from the family and leave with no intentions and no remorse
