"The Sound and the Fury" is the most outstanding masterpiece of American Nobel Prize winner and 20th century literary master William Faulkner. It was published in 1929. This novel describes the decline of the Compson family, a prominent family in the town of Jefferson in the south of the United States from the late 19th century to the 1920s, as well as the experiences and mental states of each family member. The book is divided into four parts, each part has a character narrating the story.

"As I Lay Dying" is the representative work of the American writer Faulkner published in 1930 and one of the important novels of the "Yoknapatawpha Lineage". It tells the story of Bundren, a farmer in the southern United States, who led his family to transport his wife's body back to his hometown for burial in order to keep his promise to his wife. The novel is completely composed of fifty-nine inner monologues of the Bundren family, neighbors and related personnel. The story is told from multiple perspectives. It is another masterpiece of the author's use of multi-perspective narrative methods and stream-of-consciousness methods.

The members of the fallen landowner Compson family - the sensitive and desperate eldest son Quentin, the cold and cunning second son Jason, the mentally retarded youngest son Benjamin, and the family slave Dilcey, each use different perspectives to tell the same family tragedy around the fall of the second daughter Katie Compson, like the four movements of a symphony, using exquisite time and space structure to show a sinking American southern society.
