"The sound and the fury" by William Faulkner is a novel published in 1929. The story follows the declining Compson family of Jefferson, Mississippi, told through multiple perspectives including stream of consciousness narration. The family consists of three brothers—Quentin, Benjamin, and Jason—and their sister Caddy, along with their black servant Dilsey. Through fragmented narratives spanning childhood trauma to adult consequences, the novel explores family decay, disability, honor, and loss across different time
periods in the early twentieth century. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
