as i lay dying report
Addie Bundren uses her death to punish her family, and causes the actions in which each Bundren character takes advantage of Addie. With the character's actions revolving around her death, William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying reveals the truth about the people who surround a person may take advantage of him or her. The death of Addie Bundren shapes all of the character's actions in life including Addie's final request before her death. Addie takes advantage of her death by using it for revenge and inflicting final pains upon some characters, while the other characters use her to get what they want for their personal needs. Addie causes all the painful actions around her family either directly or indirectly. Addie is the main abuser of her upcoming death in As I Lay Dying. She makes sure that the people in her family whom she dislikes must experience her wrath before she moves on to the next life. Addie is the one who is dying, but she makes sure that everyone else in the family suffers as much as she did. Inflicting pain mostly on Anse, Addie enjoys herself. Anse is a lazy man and is forced by his wife to take her to Jefferson to be buried as her final request. Addie's revenge on Anse was payback for all the times when h
Cash seems to want new tools, while Darl just wants to get the burial over with. Especially on Addie's case since Anse is a lazy bum. Still, Jewel seems to be damaged by his mother's lack of affection. If Addie is more sincere and more of a motherly figure to her children, then possibly she would enjoy life, and her family would enjoy her and no pain would be inflicted. She never had a loving motherly role model in her life. Jewel can only express himself through physical actions by being cruel. Saving his mother's coffin from going downstream and rescuing the coffin from the burning barn were some ways Jewel showed his love, although those actions are quite extreme because Jewel could have been killed. Overall, Addie uses her death to her advantage, by making her family pay and make them take her to be buried in Jefferson, while the other characters use Addie's death to attain what they want. Jewel and Darl envy the love that Addie gives Cash, while Darl is Jealous of Jewel, so Darl teases him by always asking him who was your father? Cash, Darl, and Jewel do not get along because of their bitter jealousy of each other. Dewey Dell uses Addie's death to have a chance to go to the pharmacies at the end of the journey to get an abortion. Vardaman's actions are reckless against Dr. The effect that Addie had over her family resembles similarly to a type of hex. All the characters take advantage of Addie's death even Addie herself as she gets her revenge on her whole family in her passing. Addie did not teach how the world works so as a result, when his mother dies, Vardaman confused his mother's death with a dead fish he caught that day.
