Words were a mans invention
-If she was truly unhappy she could not speak her words because words do not really mean anything.

-Addie Bundren's wedding dress was a symbol of the beginning of her unhappiness
upside down and backwards
-When the buried her backwards they thought that it would help because the dress would fit better in the coffin, but in reality it just made everything worse.
-Addie's head being put in the narrow part of the coffin is a symbol of how women were viewed as narrow minded during this time period.
The apple doesn't fall from the tree
-They put Addie's coffin under the apple tree when the stench was getting too much to handle. We believe that she was put there to symbolize that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree with Dewey Dell. Addie got pregnant out of wedlock with Anse so she was forced to marry him so it looked better. Dewey Dell is pregnant out of wedlock with Lafe and they try to fix the problem but they end up unsuccessful in their endeavors.
