Importance of cash

Cash symbolizes guilt in the novel. Cash is saved and given to Cordelia throughout her life by Warren, though Warren does so anonymously. It is believed that Warren does this out of regret and remorse. When Warren dies, a massive amount of cash in small denominations is given to Cordelia at Warren’s request. This is among the pieces of evidence which allow Cordelia to conclude that Warren is the true murderer of her family.
