About This Novel
"The Sound and the Fury" is a novel written by American writer William Faulkner in 1929. It tells the story of the family tragedy of the Compson family, a declining landowner in the South. Readers who like Faulkner's works should not miss this book. Old Compson was idle and addicted to drinking and drinking. His wife is selfish, cruel, and resentful. The eldest son desperately clung to the so-called old traditions of the South. He was filled with love and hate because of his sister's romantic nature and her status as a southern lady, and even committed suicide by drowning. The second son is cold and greedy, while the third son is an idiot. At 33 years old, he only has the intelligence of a 3-year-old child. The full text revolves around the sister's fall through the inner monologues of the three sons. Finally, the black maid's "limited perspective" on the first three parts is supplemented. The work uses multi-angle narrative methods and stream-of-consciousness techniques such as montage. It is a classic work of stream-of-consciousness novels and even the entire modern novel.
