Compson

The Compsons are never going to escape taking part in different parts of history and society. They have seen their own family fall apart, but also bear witness to a unfaithful black woman break down mentally and physically before she eventually was murdered. Nancy garnered the attention of the Compson children just from the way she walked with the laundry and the balance she had when the kept the laundry over her head. At the same time, the serious issues were brought around many of the children and were not well hidden or worded in such a way that everyone would not understand, but the children, in their innocence, had very little understanding of what was going on. Quentin was the only child that finally realized a bit of what was happening, enough to know that when they were leaving the house in the final section, they would never see Nancy alive again. He also knew that Jubah/Jesus (he’s named different according to different versions) would be the one to kill her.
