I hate Anse Bundren. I finished this novel and that's what I thought, how much I hate Anse Bundren. His selfishness drives the whole novel in a place and time where men worked women to death. Of course his wife Addie wasn't lovable either, but I understood Addie. She just wanted to be alone and at peace. Why she married Anse though, that is never really explained and in some ways seems out of character for a school teacher who hated children to choose marriage which meant bearing children.
I don't think this is my favorite of Faulkner's, I preferred Absalom Absalom, but I am glad I've read this book.
