Narrative Status:
Remembered
Date:
Friday, January 1, 1892 to Thursday, December 31, 1896
Notes:
The location of where (and when) this event "occurs" is very problematic. Faulkner leaves this ambiguous in the novel. The placement in the novel flows a few chapters after the crossing of the river. Nevertheless, it does seem to answer the "Cora" chapter that comes right before it. This section of the novel labeled "Addie" (169-176) is hard to locate in time or in place. Faulkner does not make it clear as to whether Addie is speaking to us after her death or is this chapter something that she narrates on her death bed (or even earlier).
Summary:
In this section, Addie tells how she was first attracted to Anse.
