As I lay Dying Part 3
April 9, 2007
Everyone is prideful.
Anse: religious justifications. Considered lazy. Commitment to Addie. Hast. Allegory to Job (suffered the most). Apparently you can call him selfish, but you shouldn’t write about it (I don’t know how much I buy this, basically I see him as being repressed by Addie and now that she’s gone…).
Cash: percise. Thinks in power point. Records exact distance of fall. Answers Darls thoughts (and vice versa).
Dewey Dell: She spends alot of time suspecting people. She thinks Darl knows, she suspect other people too. Refuses to bury her mom before time. Starts to go crazy. Evident by mixing of italics. On outside she seems to be observant and in control, but we see its chaos.
Darl: Prescient. Gets Verdemen. Is he rewriting scenes as they happen? Spends alot of time watching Jewel. What is the importance of the time he spends on the water? They might lose the mom, so why does he care what it looks like? He thinks this is the edge of the world.
Tull: gets the creeps with anything she can’t explain
