-end of benjys chapter-
rereading this and knowing so much more about the characters makes this so much more impactful thb!! it's so horible to come back to his rly innocent perspective knowing all the awful things that were really happening,,, it feels like he's actually lucky to be so unaware, while everyone else s chapters feel so nihilistic and dark.

end of quentin's section

just finished benjys chapter,,, this book is so peak!! this section planted so many questions in my mind that i hope are going to get answered in the later chapters. being in benjys head for so long, i think itll be super interesting to see how the other characters talk about him and how they interpret the same events. it kindof reminded me of a shakespeare play with all the dialogue and the types of characters!!

im still adjusting to this chapter, i can just about piece together what is happening and get some of the dynamics between the characters,,, i really like benjy and caddy's relationship, it seems like nobody else can really stand himand theyre all ashamed of him exept her. benjy's narration is super unique, there's not really any emtotion or interpretation, he's just like a floating eyeball capturing his surroundings
