Popeye is one of the main characters in William Faulkner's Sanctuary. Popeye is a man that is considered to be "undersize" although no specific details are given as to height and weight, other than the fact that the man is slim. Popeye tends to wear a straw hat along with tight fitting suits. Popeye is a chain smoker who often walks around with a cigarette in his mouth where it will burn down to nothing.
