As I Lay Dying

My diary desu

the novel explores the theme of mortality by showing each of Addie’s loved ones offer unique responses to her death

"Reflecting on his mother’s death, the cynical Darl remarks, “It takes two people to make you, one people to die. That’s how the world is going to end.”

Dewey: “I heard that my mother is dead. I wish I had time to let her die. I wish I had time to wish I had.”

Vardaman drill holes in her coffin so she can breathe: he thinks that because Addie’s physical body still exists, she must still exist and therefore need air in order to keep existing.

But if you want to get real, try something like pic related

That's not a real dead person is it? Is this being spammed because some subhuman fucking nigger is advertising his retarded soundcloud concept album no one will ever care about? I hope you get dismembered by niggers you fucking scum, if this is true. You are less than a parasite, you are negative inverted matter and nothing with intrinsic significance like life and death should be dragged through the substanceless mud of your mind or your pathetic mockery of "art" so your disgusting aborted jiva congeries of a persona can LARP to its nonexistent reflection in the mirror that it has some kind of character. You shouldn't even be allowed to touch baryonic matter let alone anything that has spiritual or conceptual significance. Go look at your fucking failed soundcloud mixtape as intently as you can with eyes pulled painfully wide and then blow your entire fucking head off nigger.

Nahj Al-Balagha

>By Allah, the son of Abu Talibis more familiar with death than an infant with the breast of its mother. I have hidden knowledge, if I disclose it you will start trembling like ropes in deep wells.

Please tell me you didnt just read a synopsis. Faulkner shows a lot more about the nature of death through the narrative and some really thoughtful remarks.
