The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner is a haunting exploration of the disintegration of a Southern family, told through shifting perspectives and fragmented time. The novel immerses readers in the minds of its characters, particularly the Compson siblings, revealing their inner turmoil, loss, and longing. With innovative narrative techniques, such as stream of consciousness, Faulkner creates a complex, emotional landscape that mirrors the chaos of the post-Civil War South. Rich in symbolism and deep in its portrayal of human suffering, The Sound and the Fury remains a profound and challenging masterpiece of modernist literature.
