Okay, so I understand that it’s common belief that nothing sexual ever happened between the two. Quentin struggles with the concept of time and struggles with Caddy’s promiscuity because of how it looks to the family?
I just think it’s much simpler. Is that really why he kills himself? Can it not be that he actually loves her, and struggles with what that means and its unrequited nature? How did you all interpret their relationship?
(Side note: After Quentin’s chapter, I kept thinking as I read that the “man in the red tie” was really Miss Quentin’s real father unbeknownst to her, and that it was a reverse oedipus Rex situation.)
