#AILD #CHP59 Anse has new teeth and a new wife. Cash gets access to a graphophone, but at the expense of his leg. Darl is locked up. Vardaman’s horse is still missing. Dewey Dell is further along in her pregnancy now is penniless. Vardaman has bananas but no train or fish.

#AILD #CHP58 Anse stoops to the lowest possible rung of humanity: he takes money from his daughter while stating that he was the most generous of fathers and attempts to make her feel guilty by evoking her recently deceased mother while he is courting another woman

#AILD #CHP57 Darl’s narrative is in the 3rd person, but the chapter's written to suggest that he has separated from himself, going "crazy." The "I" that asks questions is the guard, but it's clear that this is not the guard narrating. Darl’s laughs and says, yes yes yes yes yes

[Maria @MariaP320M]

#AILD #CHP56 Vardaman has been told that Darl is crazy and that he is going to Jackson by train. Vardaman thus makes the simple association that "going to Jackson" is what one does if one is crazy. Vardaman has looked forward to seeing and having a toy train.

#AILD #CHP55 For Dewey Dell, sex was how she got her problem and has been associated with it ever since. Darl most likely made her have sex to keep him quiet. She would have had sex with Peabody had she been able to ask him and had he been willing to treat her.

#AILD #CHP55 Dewey Dell is desperate and naive to urban attitudes but does start to catch on. She assumes that even though MacGowan might lie about being a doctor, he would still help her.

#AILD #CHP54 Anse is becoming less and less likable. While one son is being sent off to prison and another is being examined for injuries he is ultimately responsible, Anse is returning shovels to the woman he wants to marry.

#AILD #CHP53 Dewey Dell’s "betrayal" of Darl creates far more questions than it answers.

[Maria @MariaP320M]

#AILD #CHP53 Addie is buried, Darl is arrested, and Anse meets the new Mrs. Bundren....

#AILD #CHP52 there are no cakes. Dewey Dell’s "package" is clothes and her cash. Jewel’s response to the man’s epithet indicates that what he said was "bastard"

[Maria @MariaP320M]

#AILD #CHP51 Anse is becoming less responsible. Even though most, if not all, of the problems which happen on this trip can be traced to him, Anse tries to blame others, namely his children.

[Maria @MariaP320M]

#AILD #CHP51 Vardaman knows that Darl did something: he was looking for the buzzards and saw Darl in the barn. However, Vardaman probably does not know what he did. Dewey Dell is the one who most likely knows what Darl did

[Maria @MariaP320M]

#AILD #CHP50 Darl may feel hate towards Addie because she said that it was after she was pregnant with Darl, she put this "curse" on Anse. If Darl feels like the unwanted son, he would feel hate towards Jewel who is more loved. The fact that Jewel is named "Jewel" just says it...

[Maria @MariaP320M]

#AILD #CHP50 This chapter seems to represent the battle conflict between Jewel and Darl. Darl wants his mother buried and the episode concluded. Jewel wants to save his mother and follow her wishes.

[Maria @MariaP320M]

#AILD #CHP49 Darl says that Addie wants to be buried, but this trip seems to never end. Darl probably tried to lose the coffin in the river, but that failed, and now he tries another method, fire.

[Maria @MariaP320M]

#AILD #CHP49 Vardaman’s secret is about Darl, and it's that he is the one who burns down the barn. A 7 year old burning down a barn, that's toooootally normal....

[Maria @MariaP320M]

#AILD #CHP48 Darl says to Jewel, "Your mother was a horse, but who was your father?" Jewel’s response indicates that he suspects or fears something too: "You goddamn lying son of a b****." Darl might really know about what Jewel is the product of....

#AILD #CHP47 Vardaman counts the buzzards again and now there are only five. Why does this kid have such an infatuation with the buzzards..

[Maria @MariaP320M]

#AILD #CHP46 Anse claims to be in no debt, yet he's in everyone’s debt. He wants to feel superior by claiming self-sufficiency, wants to appear honorable, yet cannot afford the things he wants. So he borrows and steals while denying it. Good job Anse....

#AILD #CHP46 The wagon pulls up to a place where they need to get some water to mix the cement for Cash’s leg. Why would they put cement in his leg..
