First of all, it is As I Lay Dying, not As You Lay Dying.Secondly, the father is Anse Bundren, toothless idiot extraordinaire.
Cora
Judging by the fact that Anse got remarried to some random lady right after he buried Addie, it's clear that he didn't love her at all.
No, Dewey Dell does not tell Anse. But Darl knows that she is pregnant/ lost her virginity, even though Dewey Dell doesn't tell him.
This is because he is the father of all of the Bundren children except for Jewel.
Anse is most preoccupied with his desire to get a new set of false teeth throughout "As I Lay Dying." This fixation symbolizes his superficial nature and selfishness. His relentless pursuit of the new teeth contrasts starkly with the tragic events befalling his family.
The population of Anse is 4,996.
'une anse' is a bay at the seaside in French. 'Grand anse' or 'Grande Anse' are placenames meaning 'large bay' in French.
Yes, he did. This is the whole irony of the entire book. After everything that the family went through--Darl being sent to a mental institution, Jewel selling his horse, Cash breaking his leg, Dewey Dell giving up her money for abortion, the mules dying--Anse Bundren doesn't have the respect to his wife to even give her a few days after the burial to wait to get married. This really emphasizes the extent of Anse's selfishness and his lack of care for the sacrifices that his children went through to bury their mother.
