The Sound and The Fury 1
So far I have found that this book is kind of strange and definately confusing. There was a whole lot of stuff gonig on and I didn’t really understand which character is which. The first part is narrated by Benjy, which was completely confusing I barely got any of it until I read the second part narrated by Quentin. In both of the parts both narrators talked about Caddy a lot, it’s like they are obsessed with her. Which I also find really weird especially because after reading the first and second part you begin to understand and find out that they are all brothers and sisters. Its just really weird how they talk about her because It’s not the typical brother/ sister relationship you thinfkof. I know thats DEFINATELY not how it is with my sister. I believe that there is something a little messed up with them . The way Quentin talks about Caddy is like he is in love with her, not that he loves her like a sister. It sounds like he just wants to be with her and can’t imagine living with out her. It’s more like a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship more so than a sister/brother relationship. The whole thing is just very strange.

Yes I agree that the brother sister relationship is very strong and at times a little to loving.Quentin offers to run away with Caddy together, and i find that very unsibling like for two people to do that. I definatley think that the brothers are to loving towards Caddy
hahaha..i definitly agree with you, and i feel like everyone is writing the same thing in their posts.. the WHOLE brother/sister relationships in this book are crazy and disgusting..and its not normal..and it makes the whole reading experience horrible..
I definitely agree with you too. The brother and sister relationships are too weird for me. The fact that Quentin wanted to run away with Caddy was freaky enough, but now we find out that her kid is named “Quentin.” That’s really weird. I agree with Devon’s comment also-it’s so foreign and disgusting, “it makes the whole reading experience horrible.”
I agree with you when you say that the first couple parts were confusing. They were especially difficult to understand after missing a number of classes. (I can vouch for that one). I think you also bring up a good point about the family relationship among the characters. It did seem as though the brother and sister relationship was sketchy and almost crossing a line that deffinitely should not be crossed.
