Dewey Dell is the second-to-youngest Bundren child, and the only daughter of Anse<span>and </span>Addie<span>. Dewey Dell does not narrate many sections throughout the novel, though she is arguably one of the most tragic characters in the book: she is impregnated by the farmhand </span>Lafe<span>, who then leaves her with nothing more than ten dollars for an abortion.

Just pages later, Anse takes her abortion money to buy his teeth, leaving Dewy Dell with next to nothing at the end of the novel.</span>
