All the King's Men, Ch. 1-4


After reading the first 3 chapters, you get an idea of Robert Penn Warren's writing style and the personality traits of his characters; that all changes in chapter 4. On the surface, the Cass Mastern episode seems completely irrelevant to All the King's Men--it does not affect the main characters of the novel, contains its own set of people and places, and is completely disconnected from the main plot. So why did Warren include it?


Your responses should be approximately 50-words in length. Be sure to use textual evidence when appropriate. Going over the suggested word count or under that word count is acceptable as long as your response is relevant and direct. Also, review your responses for correctness before posting. Respond often and in a timely manner. It is okay to post a response and then check back days later to see if anyone has responded to you or asked you a question.
