Did Ben leave and take Clara with him, or did he stay in Frenchman's Bend with the Varner's?
Also was the little speech about his father at the end his confession that he really was a barn burner?

I think he stayed based on Will's reaction when he heard them and he stopped packing when Clara comes in.

I'd rather think they both went away together.
If they hadn't ended up together I would have had more respect for the movie. I have to look for Faulkner's ending now.

It had an open-ended conclusion.

I've always wondered the same thing
"why are you married to him then if you can't work with him how do you live with him?"
