Absalom, Absalom

Absalom, Absalom seemed to me to be very intricate. As with most Faulkner texts, I am learning there are so many layers to his works. The story within the story told not even by an eye-witness, but by an aunt and aquaintances of the family. I still have yet to finish the last two chapters but I have always related better to Quinten and Caddy than some of the other  members in their family. I have sympathy for people who have reasons for having issues. If you can tell me that you gave me the finger in traffic because you overslept and didn't get a shower, then I would forgive you. I have no sympathy for people who are just cruel to others. Jason Compson seemed to carry some of those characteriastics. Supten also was cruel to others in order to attempt to fulfill his dreams. Dreams are great but when you have to hurt others to accomplish them, they need to take an alternate route. Supten should have reevaluated his southern plantation ideas and stuck with his first wife and son. That was the first detour he should have made among others.
