Quentin

Something that struck me was when Quentin asks Caddy if they should kill themselves and also later when Quentin wants to kill Dalton Ames. It only reinforced the idea that Benjy isn't the only character in the novel that is mentally ill. On the surface, readers might think that Benjy is the only character that has a problem, but Quentin as well has problems. Quentin is intelligent and goes to Harvard, and to society, someone like Quentin is respected and put above others for his intelligence. Benjy, on the other hand, to society is someone who is often looked down upon because of his mental capacities. However, Quentin can actually be placed as equal as Benjy because he himself has emotional and mental problems which leads to Quentin's suicide.
