Document Summary
Present: april 6, 1928 (good friday, crucifixion of christ) : april 8, 1928 (easter sunday; the resurrection of christ) He cannot achieve narrative linearity because he doesn"t see things in linear time. Benjy cannot lie, he is a literalist. Can record events, but not interpret them. Only character that gives him love and affection is caddie. Caddy is lost, not coming back, no sense of hope. She is not allowed back in the home because her mother thinks she is a whore, forever gone. Pg 30 flashback to when caddie was with charlie, her boy at the time, and benjy gets upset. Pg 32 luster calls benjy: a loon, a mule-head. Caddie smells like trees to benjy, when she wears perfume, it confuses and angers benjy. Pg 199 they take queenie to the left of the monument: horror and shock screaming from benjy, luster rolls his eyes, benjy needs exact order, same as its always been.
