Explanation:

"That Evening Sun" is a short story written by William Faulkner. The story narrates the indifference of white Southerners towards the blacks.

Nancy was a black woman who worked as a washerwoman in the house of Quentin's family. The story is narrated from the Quentin Compson's point of view. Nancy is filled with fear that her husband Jubah will kill her because she was pregnant with a white man's child.

In the resolution part of the story, Faulkner narrates that Nancy was left all alone in the house by Quentin's family when she feared that Jubah was out there in the ditch to kill him. Instead of comforting her the Father and the kids leave her alone which signifies the indifference of Quentin's family.

The fate of Nancy remained untold as Faulkner chooses to stay silent on this matter and left the readers wondering about her fate and with the feelings of indifference by Quentin's family towards Nancy.
