Benji

So far, the gaping chasm that was supposed to be The Sound and the Fury has actually been more of a small ditch.  Perhaps it's just the way I think, but I didn't find Benji's chapter all that confusing.  His narration is crystal clear; Faulkner created Benji's view of the world to be simple, but he doesn't miss much in terms of details. Benji doesn't make inferences based on what he sees though, he doesn't know how to.

So we get to do it.  Benji has laid the background for the story, the fluidity with which he experiences different memories is at times confusing, but it allows Faulkner to jump around in time without raising eyebrows.  He can also jump right in.  Benji narrates things as he experiences them, but he doesn't give context.  People and animals have names, they do this and that, but they have no background, he doesn't give them a place within the story.  That's for us to figure out.  By the time Benji's narration is done we've more or less worked through who everyone is, and Faulkner doesn't have to use another character's more competent narration to do so.

Caddy is Benji's everything.  Personally, I don't like many of the other characters.  His mother is pompous and spineless.  Luster's obvious dislike and feelings of superiority towards Benji make him equally detestable.  Jason is, as a certain english teacher so eloquently stated, an asshole.  Caddy is the only true family Benji has.  It is only natural that in his mind, where time is not applicable, memories tie back to her again and again.
