Darl II (10-13)


"Jewel vs. the Horse"



In this chapter we learn that Vernon Tull never went to town in his overalls, according to Darl.

Darl also spends some time describing Jewel's complicated nature. For example, he caresses the horse, and also abuses it, a la Mongo in Blazing Saddles. Well, maybe not that bad.

Faulkner talks about horses an awful lot in this book, especially with regard to Jewel. Pay attention to this theme.

An interesting word? Myriad.
