nothing tto do with Faulkner!

Contrary to what appears on these boards, this movie bears no relationship at all to Faulkner's The Hamlet or any other writing. Ben Quick is a very minor character in the book. Ratliff is a major character appearing in every scene. Many major characters a re missing, and Clara does not exist. Eula is Varner's daughter, not daughter-in-law.

And the book is a comic novel.
