William Faulkner’s “The Sound and The Fury” begin with the narrative account of Benjy Compson, a thirty-three year old man with the mindset of a three year old. Personally I believe this to be an interesting choice on Faulkner’s part to start the novel. The reader is thrown into  this chaotic world Benjy is living in. Benjy is outcasted by his family because of his mental incapabilities. The only other character to show care for him, is his sister Caddy. From the beginning, she cares for him like no other. When they are going to deliver a letter to Mrs. Patterson, she treats him as if she needs him to complete the job. Granted, throughout the text about Benjy, their relationship can be described as  codependent. Caddy acts a certain way around Benjy, which in turn makes him need her.
