Well the question isn't whether he's immoral but amoral.

Yes, thank you, Daniel.  Do you not think that's why I offered the question of whether is actions were an immoral action or an amoral action?  Or why I posed the question at the very beginning of the thread about the distinction between understanding complex adult issues and having zero sense of morality?

It's not about taking offense.  The correction is not warranted because I have spent the entire thread talking about the distinction between immorality and amorality as it applies to this character.  I know what the question is without your having to tell me.

Ah, back to deleting things that poke fun at you but don't break any rules, are we?

I've been removing items, posts and thread that poke fun at numerous people, by numerous posters, for numerous reasons.  But why bother paying attention when you can just make everything into a personal vendetta.

If Faulkner's intention was to show the "punishment" as injustice spawned from fear and blind adherence to social mores, then I feel confident it would be the latter.

However, I do not take from that, or from the specific example discussed in the story, that retarded people as a whole have zero sense of morality.  My son is one, and he's already clever enough to know when he's getting into something he ought not.
