Regarding the book, The Sound and The Fury, pages 330-360
I am completely ready to be done with this book. Actually, I want to find out what was actually going on, then I can be done with this book.
I'm a little confused again. Only a little. This last section has a third person point of view. Through out the entire novel, the flashbacks have become less common and they make more sense, and I can only think of once where Jason flashbacked. Here, there is no flashbacks. There couldn't be really, it's in third person.
Ever since the section began, I've been wondering "who's dead? who's dead?" Slowly they revealed that everyone is alive, unfortunate. I really want someone to be dead at some point, besides the father and suicidal Quentin. It did turn out that little Slut Quentin ran off in the night. It's not that hard to decipher. The red tied lover wore a red tie because he was in the show that Luster was looking for his quarter to go to and the show left by midnight and so by the process of logic and no more confusing and illogical flashbacks, Quentin left with the show.
Since this is my last post before I finish the book, I would like to make a few predictions. Disclaimer: The point of these predictions is just to entertain myself and to partially bug my video game addicted brother who freaks out slightly when I drag him from his Warcraft.
1. Benjamin has been playing dumb all along.
2. Quentin from Harvard comes back as a ghost and haunts Jason for being a jerk.
3. Caddy has been messing with Jason, and Quentin is really a hired actress to be a complete jerk to Jason. The $200 dollars a month was her pay. She ran away because she was finally offered a good job in that show with the red tie wearers.
4. Benjamin is an alien who could not adapt to Earth life and thus became a walking moaning drooling vegetable.
5. Dilsey kills everyone and takes over the household.
6. Miss Caroline finally dies from her consistent illness and nobody notices for weeks until they realize that although the house is pleasantly quieter, there's a terrible stench wafting from the upstairs bedroom which is covered up with lime. (haha, Isn't that what happened in A Rose for Emily, also by Faulkner?)
7. There is a fantastic musical number that explains everything completely. Because nothing can be better expressed than by music.
LOL! That sounds great! I love it!
