Kloverfield Log: February 23, 2011
Regarding the book, The Sound and The Fury, pages 360-401
addition
p.s.
I would like to add a few things or really just sum up what I just said because that was awfully long and a little wanderer. Basically, the book had a disappointing ending, there was themes of sin, and I will speak more of that in a minute, and there are universal...something or other that people can relate too concerning family and train of thought.
As to the theme of sin, I said previously sin and redemption. I do not see redemption anywhere in the near future for the Compsons. The novel does not give hope for redemption. The closest thing there is is that for most of the plot the date is on Easter weekend, symbolizing death and resurrection. The black servants take Benjy to church services and it serves as a pointing finger that these are the innocent ones, these are the ones who have not fallen.
Yay irony! The only characters who have not fallen are the mentally deficient 33 man(sparknotes says Benjy's a Christ figure but I think that may be analyzing it a bit far.) the old matriarchal black servant, and Luster who has grudgingly watched after Benjy.
