The Sound and the Fury, published in 1929, is a seminal novel by William Faulkner that chronicles the decline of the Compson family, former Southern aristocrats in Mississippi. The story is uniquely told through the perspectives of three brothers—Benjy, Quentin, and Jason Compson—and a final section focused on the family’s loyal servant, Dilsey. Faulkner employs innovative narrative techniques, including stream of consciousness and non-linear timelines, to delve into themes of time, memory, and the deterioration of traditional Southern values.
