Both flannery o’connor and william faulkner explored the lives and existence of
a. families surviving the depression.
b. alienated and odd characters.
c. war criminals living in their midst.
d. life after the horrors of a long war.

The answer is B. alienated and odd characters. Both Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner's works featured grotesque and odd characters that had many moral flaws. The reason they created such characters was to give a sense of realism to their works as well as to highlight flaws they saw in the society at the time.
