The first section, which occurs on April 7, 1928, is told by Benjy Compson, a 33-year-old idiot. He uses a language that has short sentences with a basic vocabulary. This was one of the most difficult sections to read because Benjy has no concept of time or place. He has instances were something that happens in the present, instantly and sometimes without warning, will trigger a memory about the past.
