I know most people are super confused/ intrigued by Quentin's relationship with Caddy, but I was actually slightly more interested in his relationship with his father. I'm not entirely sure whether or not Q is completely in awe of him or if he is frustrated by him. He keeps mentioning him but half the time he is recalling a disagreement. Yet he's completely obsessed with time and clearly his father is the root of this. He toout tld Quentin that man is a "sum of his climatic experiences" (124). One of the major debates abhis novel is whether or not each date for each section is the present or just the sum of each character's experiences to that date.
Benjy hardly mentioned his father and I'm still not entirely sure what to think about him. I wonder if he'll make such a large appearance in any other section
