YMMV / The Sound and the Fury

• The Woobie: You can pretty much take your pick between Benjy and Quentin.
  • Jason emerges as the Jerkass Woobie in some interpretations, since he had his nastiness beaten into him by his mother (and also because his life kind of sucks).
  • Miss Quentin also could be a Jerkass Woobie. Sure, she’s nasty to Benjy and Dilsey but she lives with a grandmother who hates her because she’s a living reminder that Caddy had a child out of wedlock and with Jason, who steals the support payments Caddy sends for the girl and is nasty to boot. Is it any wonder that Miss Quentin acts out?
