Addie Bundren uses language as a vehicle for asserting her power. Like Darl, Addie realizes the boundaries and constraints created by language; use language to indicate what is lost. His narrative chapter is the focus of the novel and he uses very little italics in his speech. Unlike Caddie, in Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, Addie is the character in the novel, but she too is granted a voice. It is in her chapter that the reader realizes that Addie wanted her body brought to Jefferson for burial as a sort of punishment from Anse for Darl's birth. Addie hadn't really wanted to be a mother, or a wife, for that matter. Addie, an eloquent teacher, married Anse, a brutal and ignorant farmer. Marriage and children bring Addie the loss of words and linguistic and literal imprisonment. He seemed to be trying to find meaning in actions and struggling with the concept of words and the fact that they can never truly mean what they are truly intended to. Words are never enough for Addie to express thoughts and experiences. and language cannot articulately convey an emotion or concept. like marriage, love and mother are far too limiting, vague and constricting to fully translate meaning and interpretation. In Addie's section she italicizes the names “Anse,” “Cash,” and “Darl” to emphasize them as names that represent more. As Addie called him, "I thought about his name until after a while I saw the word as a form... It doesn't matter what they call it." (Faulkner 165) Addie seemed determined to demonstrate the absurdity of words, especially words that were titles. Addie became a wife and mother because that was what was expected of a woman during that time. However, in the middle of the paper... of the speech. Just as it is sometimes implausible to think that Faulkner's characters have the education necessary to support their often poetic and stylistic language, it is equally confusing to construct the inner thoughts of a character's subconscious. However, it is precisely this use of experimental equations of language that shapes Faulkner's modernist monologues. Deconstructing Faulkner's writing style can provide further understanding of his text, but the most basic way to understand Faulkner is to interpret the language of the heart along with the mind. Faulkner has been called a modernist and a misogynist. Faulkner the humanist describes it most accurately. His process of using language to construct and recreate the flaws, triumphs, and essence of what is distinctly human is why scholars continue to examine his works regardless of the answers that are produced..
