The Sound and the Fury

The Sound and the Fury

William Faulkner

In William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, witness the decline of the once-noble Compson family of mythical Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi. William Faulkner's stream-of-consciousness narrative penetrates the psychological and moral deviations that contribute to the family's decay. Three brothers — Benjy, Quentin, and Jason — relate the story, followed by Dilsey, the family cook who brings order to a chaotic home. The novel depicts the modern world as a place where the old values of the past are meaningless and the values of the present are destructive.
