The Sound and the Fury ‧ 1929
Women do have an affinity for evil, for believing that no woman is to be trusted, but that some men are too innocent to protect themselves.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The passage assigns women an affinity for evil and distrust of other women while portraying some men as too innocent to protect themselves. These are sweeping judgments in the text, not established qualities of women or men.
