Darl is the slightly crazy son of Anse and Addie Bundren, who is constantly in competition
and conflict with Jewel. They work together and fight together. Darl speaks the most in the novel and eventually goes insane.
After setting fire to the Gillespie's barn, Anse has him taken to the loony bin on a train. Cora believes him
to be the honorable and blessed son of Addie, instead of Jewel. He is unemotional at her death and has difficulty accepting
his family's fate.
