I agree with Lauren on your passage selection. I think that it too is true that it was difficult to figure out whether the two were talking about sex or suicide, but i think that in a way, that is what Faulkner was going for. I think that he made this passage to be taken in two different ways so that it would stick out as something to keep in mind throughout the rest of the novel.

It’s also interesting to note how Quentin relates suicide to sex. At the end of the scene Caddy toys with him half teasing him / half getting him to realize what he’s doing, Caddy really doesn’t have that much hang-up with either.

It’s very interesting to note that we never get to see Caddy’s point of view. It’d be interesting to know Caddy if saw their relationship as sexually as Quentin does. Although, Quentin’s view is based on his virginity and Caddy doesn’t have that problem.

I think you picked a good section to analyze. This is a key part in this book into understanding the relationship between Caddy and Quentin as you mentioned. It is a very interesting part. You can definately see the sexuality shown in this passage. You’re right, it is sometimes difficult to really tell whether they are talking about sex or the suicide, because the language could mean either one.

Good point about him forgetting his birthday, I find that very hard to do. I also agree with the description comment. At sometimes i felt like he did a great job at it and then other times i had no clue what was even going on.

That is a good thought, why did he forget his birthday??? I could never forget my own birthday. Like my mom’s yea for some odd reason I always mix hers up but never my own. Once I did remember if i did I would agree with you and be excited. I guess were supposed to take this as foreshadowing and maybe he isn’t excited about getting old because he has a feeling all these “friends” he has now, he won’t have later.
