Anse’s constant negative force throughout the novel says, “I am chosen of the Lord, for who He loveth, so doeth He chastiseth. But I be durn if He don’t take some curious ways to show it, seems like.” (Faulkner) Anse is disillusioned. Instead of coming to terms with the wickedness that he put his family through, he determines that the negative in his life is a blessing from the Lord. Nothing that he does is his fault. The death of his wife, directly correlates to the fact that he refused to send for the doctor in order to save money. Cash’s leg will be forever crippled, simply because Anse refused to send for care. American literature is plagued with obvious antagonist, but Anse served as a selfish everyday villain that anyone could
