Cora (6-9)

"Cora and the Cakes"



In this chapter we are introduced to Cora, as well as a number of other characters. Cora is helping out the household with some cooking out of a sense of Christian charity. We learn that she is entreprenurial, money-conscious, and more or less resigned to God's will, so she says.

We learn that Addie Bundren is old and wasted away, but not yet dead. She's covered with a heavy quilt despite the heat.

Cash continues on the coffin outside, unseen.
