  1. As I Lay Dying Discussion Questions

  2. Which are the most sympathetic voices in the novel? Discuss which characters you most and least identify with.

  3. On pages 173–174, Addie meditates on the distance between words and actions/meaning. Is Faulkner saying that words—his own chosen medium—are inadequate? What do Addie's definitions say about her as a woman?

  4. The Bundrens must endure a number of obstacles on their way to Jefferson. To what extent are the elements against them, and to what extent do they sabotage themselves?

  5. How does Faulkner mix comedy and the grotesque in the novel? Where are some examples? Why do you think he does? What is the effect?
