Biography:
Kate is one of Vernon and Cora Tull's two daughters. The way she appears in her parents' narrative sections suggests that she is clear-eyed if not angry and cynical about the place that she occupies as a poor woman. She calls out the woman who changed her mind about buying her mother's cakes as one of "those rich town ladies" (7) and even gets ahead of the plot of the novel when she predicts that Anse will "get another [wife] before cotton-picking" (34). She may also be attracted to Jewel Bundren. Either she or her sister is the daughter Whitfield refers to at Addie's funeral as "Tull's youngest" (179).
Note:
There is an unnamed “Tull’s youngest” referenced on page 179. We do not know if Kate or Eula would be that youngest especially since “Spotted Horses” features 3 unnamed Tull daughters.
