Dilsey Section (3rd person); April Eighth, 1928

The final section of Sound and the Fury consists of a third person omniscient perspective mainly focused on the character Dilsey. I'm sure there is a reason that it is displayed this way. Is it racist? Well, anyone could say that for a lot of books like this. I assume it just gives the view of the events occuring from a perspective that is not of a Compson's. This gives a more rockhard accuracy of the downfall the Compson's are having. All the other chapters bring a different understanding to plot.  

The family name has been tarnished with all these tragedies and disappointments. We already know of Quentin's death, Benjy's idiocracy, and even Miss Quentin now.  She is very rebellious like her mother we come to see. Caddy is now in the North and has abandoned the South because she knows she cannot grow that much there anymore. There is more opportunity in the North.

Religion seems to be a big part of Dilsey and why she comtinues to move on with the Compson family. She even cries on the sermon of Jesus' sacrifice which seems to relate how she also loves Benjy so much. Through this last section, we see that she makes sure Benjy is taken care of by constantly telling Luster to feed him and take him out. When Benjy is rerouted in the carriage, he does not like the path of change. Now the story is back in Benjy's perspective. This symbolises the South's inability to tread down a new path. Why does it matter? Well it actually doesn't. This story is is just a story "told by an idiot". Therefore it means nothing. This story will just be laid in the dust of the same old path.
