The last chapter that we read was from the perspective of Addie. This confused me a lot because she had been dead for several chapters and now suddenly the reader is hearing her voice. Why did Faulkner decide to finally write a chapter from her perspective after her body had washed away in the river?  

My initial reaction to this chapter was that my sadness for her death decreased slightly. Until this point in the novel I had felt awful that Addie was dead. However, from the content of this chapter I believe that her passing away lead to a better life for her where she didn't feel obligated to Anse.
