Regarding the book, The Sound and The Fury, pages 259-290
P.S.
As I was reviewing my post its to this section I discovered a biblical allusion and a point, several points actually, where Caddy, who I liked from the beginning, is called, directly or implicitly, a whore. That biblical allusion is on page 276 and it says that "they'll take her too and the name of it's not Milk street and Honey avenue either." This is actually referring to Jason's mother, not Caddy. The reference to milk and honey is from the exodus in the bible of the Jews from Egyptian bondage. It is said that the promised land is overflowing with milk and honey. The way it is referred to in this piece is only saying that where she would be sent is not somewhere pleasant.
