Biography:
A major character elsewhere in the Yoknapatawpha fictions, in Requiem "Mrs. Virginia DuPre, Colonel Sartoris's sister," makes a cameo appearance when she unveils the Confederate monument in Jefferson's Courthouse Square on Decoration Day, 1900 (188). She is perhaps the Faulkner character who most deserves the title of "the unvanquished." (Everywhere else her last name is written "Du Pre," not "DuPre.")
