How is a simple minded man defined in the story? Do you agree with this definition ?
Ans. No, I do not agree with this definition. As the winter went on and the
four people were more and more confined indoors the division in the house
became an enormous gap. The two woman passed each other on the stairs with
glances of antagonism, nor speaking. When Benjy's father walked out to preach
on sundays he walked slowly and brokenly, with the steps of an old man. Only
Benjy appeared not to be upset. Preoccupied with his hens, it was as if the
emotions of normal people never penetrated beyond his plump hairy face and
eyes that looked so harmless and simple still.
