Overview
The Sound and the Fury is a monumental work of literary modernism, detailing the tragic disintegration of the once-prominent Compson family in the postbellum American South.
William Faulkner's 1929 novel is notable for its innovative, nonlinear structure, unfolding through four distinct and often fragmented perspectives that reflect the family’s decline. The narrative serves as a powerful commentary on the decline of the Southern aristocracy, with each narrator clinging to a different, flawed version of the past as their family crumbles around the central figure of the disowned sister, Caddy.
