Abstract
Discussing The Sound and The Fury, Faulkner said once that he «Struggled and anguished with it for a year.n 1 He wrote his greatest book in 1929; the Appendix on the Compsons waswritten for The Portable Faulkner, in 1946. The title of the book comes from Macbeth. 2 The Sound nnd The Fury has been compared to The Brothers Karamazov,3 which is also about thedissolution of a family; and the intellectual, obsessed, introvert Quentin Compson has been considered akin to Stephen Daedalus. 4 The Sound and The Fury unfolds like a symphony: theBenjy section being the opening movement striking the theme, Caddy, that will recur like a leit-motiv throughout the following three sections.
