Biography:
Narcissa's unnamed dead husband appears in this novel only when the narrator notes that Narcissa lives in "the home of her husband's people" (23). The people are the Sartorises, and her husband is (Young) Bayard Sartoris. He and Horace Benbow are the central characters in Faulkner's first Yoknapatawpha fiction, Flags in the Dust (1929), in which his relationship with Narcissa and his death a year after their marriage are major episodes.
