Questions & Answers
Where is the longest sentence in William Faulkner's "Absalom, Absalom!"?
I read this in Wikipedia
"The 1983 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records has an entry for what it claims is the "Longest Sentence in Literature". It cites a sentence from Absalom, Absalom! containing 1,300 words."
Does anyone know which sentence this is, and where to find it? (Which chapter?)
According to this post, the sentence begins with the words, "They bore it as though ..." and can be found on page 361 of the corrected text Modern Library:

What does Absalom, Absalom mean in Faulkners's story?
I've read that it was King Davids sons name who betraied him... However I can't really make that fit into the story for some reason.
I'm writing a paper on this novel and thought that it would be good to define the title... it's just not as easy as I thought it would be!
The title refers to the Biblical story of Absalom, a son of David who rebelled against his father (then King of Israel) and who was killed by David's general Joab in violation of David's order to deal gently with his son. Another parallel to the story is that Absalom had his half-brother, Amnon, murdered for raping Tamar, his sister (and half-sister of the rapist). Absalom was eventually killed in battle when he attempted to revolt against his father, and David was filled with grief.
Absalom is Henry, Amnon is Charles, and Tamar is Judith.
Basically, Faulkner's story is a "modern" reenactment of the Biblical tale.
The quote "Absalom, Absalom!" also comes from the Bible, when David cries out in grief: "Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son! Would that I had died for you!" This reflects the idea that Thoman Sutpen sought to raise his status to prevent his children from ever being demeaned as he was. However, he was unable to prevent the downfall of any of his children.
