In William Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury", is Quentin Compson in love with...
...his sister Caddy? I was having an argument with my friend. He says that Quentin is not obsessed with Caddy's virginity because he is in love with her, but only because he feels disillusioned about the lost of innocence and the old-southern roots being lost and forgotten. And he aims that anger at his sister.
I said that it was both, but that he is definitely jealous of his sister's lovers and is in love with her. And the suicide is because he couldn't have her, not just because he is disgusted.
For whoever knows the book, what are your thoughts?
