"And Father said it's because you are a virgin: dont you see? Women are never virgins. Purity is a negative state and therefore contrary to nature. It's nature is hurting you not Caddy and I said That's just words and he said So is virginity and I said you dont know. You cant know and he said Yes. On the instant when we come to realise that tragedy is second-hand."
Qunetin seems to have some respect for women while his father does not. It also illustrates that Caddy has been...I dunno...Naughty? something along those lines. Also, her father and quentin and who else knows about it. His father also seems to dislike Quentin for being a virgin. While he could care less what Caddy does.
For so long women have been a commodity - this reflects that thought. So ugly. What have we missed?
