June Second, 1910

It is evident that Quentin is obsessed with both time and Caddy. Time haunts him always, specifically his shadow and the ticking of his broken clock. Is he driven to commit suicide because it is his only escape from his constant awareness of time? Also, the question of virginity comes up in this section, along with the emphasis on Caddy's promiscuity, which angers Quentin. Does Quentin's anger come from jealousy because he loves Caddy as more than a sister? Or because her promiscuity is embarrassing and shameful for him and the family?
