William Faulkner 's The Sound And The Fury

Loyalty should be considered a quality that is supposed to keep family ties together and use the shield of bravery to protect it. It is proven that devotion in families of today, are lost and bravery shows no character in a person. It is a personality that each individual has in them only to be used in the most courteous way and should not be used selfishly. Loyalty cannot be purchased and must be earned. If it used in the wrong way, it can climax to a disaster.

It wasn’t just his approach to romantic relationships that he retains this “know better then thou” mentality. In the case of the rest of his family, particularly Jason, he again, shows no remorse for his own stubborness and unwillingness to bend the blinders that his own strict, blind faith shackled his vision with. (Coupland, 2003)

Depression and madness struck jason.

     William Faulkner is one of America's most talked about writers and his work should be included in any literary canon for several reasons. After reading a few of his short stories, it becomes clear that Faulkner's works have uniqueness to them. One of the qualities that make William Faulkner's writings different is his close connection with the South. Gwendolyn Charbnier states, 'Besides the sociological factors that influence Faulkner's work, biographical factors are of great importance…'; (20). Faulkner's magnificent imagination led him to create a fictional Mississippi county named Yoknapatawpha, which includes every detail from square mileage of the county to the break down of

Though Jason knows his children will leave him, he still makes sure he provides them with a little assurance so they do not initially suffer after they leave him.

A friendship develops as Catherine starts writing cards out for Jason. The more cards she writes, the more Jason is able to communicate with others, and the more things they can "talk" about.

Thus the investigation of the murder will start right from him. The information of Jason being upset was shared by one of his mother’s co-worker. The other sources disagree to this as they stated that Jason is a sorted lad and he is always been a motivational example to the kids in the church and they love spending time with him. On the incident, the family paid a visit to the Forward Community Church and everything seemed just fine. All the folks who knew the family are shocked and upset about the incident and have been pleading the cops to investigate further as they couldn’t believe that Jason could do something like

The birth of the modernist movement in American literature was the result of the post-World War I social breakdown. Writers adopted a disjointed fragmented style of writing that rebelled against traditional literature. One such writer is William Faulkner, whose individual style is characterized by his use of “stream of consciousness” and writing from multiple points of view.

In William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, the image of honeysuckle is used repeatedly to reflect Quentin’s preoccupation with Caddy’s sexuality. Throughout the Quentin section of Faulkner’s work, the image of honeysuckle arises in conjunction with the loss of Caddy’s virginity and Quentin’s anxiety over this loss. The particular construction of this image is unique and important to the work in that Quentin himself understands that the honeysuckle is a symbol for Caddy’s sexuality. The stream of consciousness technique, with its attempt at rendering the complex flow of human consciousness, is used by Faulkner to realistically show how symbols are imposed upon the mind when experiences

The novel, Dark Matter, deals with the idea of assimilation through symbol, setting, and character. In other words, the book develops adaptation and adjustment through different story elements. It's important for Jason to adapt successfully to the parallel realities he approaches. Jason adjusts mentally and physically to what he experiences nevertheless if that means going out of his way to take back what has been taken from him by his doppelganger. By staying aware and keeping a positive state of mind, Jason holds on to the thought that he will find his family and the reality he belongs to.

At the end of the novel, Jason’s father reveals that he has been having an affair and that a divorce is underway. Furthermore, Jason discovers that he will be moving to a different city with his mom. The reader comes to the conclusion that Jason’s social prestige will be wiped clean as he has to move to a different school. At the conclusion of the novel, Jason has reached the peak of his maturity since he handles his father’s divorce with minimal anxiety. Furthermore, Jason displays his developed maturity by telling his dad that he had broken his grandfather's omega watch which is a heirloom.

There are several ways in which William Faulkner's short story "Barn Burning" is indicative of literary modernism. It depicts a relevant historical period and is part of the frontiersman literary tradition (Gleeson-White, 2009, p. 389). The author utilizes a number of purely literary approaches that were innovative for the time period in which the tale was originally published (in 1932), such as employing a young child as a narrator complete with misspelled words and broken, puerile thoughts. However, the most eminent way in which this story embraces the tradition of literary modernism is in the author's rendition of dynamic social conventions that were in a state of flux at the time of the writing. Specifically, his treatment of race is the inverse of how race is generally portrayed in American literature prior to the early part of the 20th century. An analysis of this integral component of "Barn Burning" reveals that Faulkner's unconventional rendering of African American characters in a desirable social status particularly as compared to that of the Snopes clan is crucial to this tale's inclusion as part of the tradition of literary modernism.

One of the biggest themes in the novel “The Sound and the Fury”, written by William Faulkner, is how the presence of time affects human life. The novel is separated into four different parts, Benjy’s, Quentin’s, Jason’s, and a third person narrative that could be considered Dilsey’s section. Benjy, Quentin, and Jason are all Compson children, and Dilsey is their black servant. The motif of time is obvious in this novel, as Faulkner emphasizes how the passing of time affects all four of our narrators differently.

Southern Gothic is defined as a genre of southern writing specific to American literature exclusive to the American South. Stories in this genre of southern writing focus on grotesques themes and include supernatural elements that are mainly focused on damage, the harsh conflicts of violence, racism, and delusional characters. William Faulkner, in his book “The Sound and the Furry”, displays all of these elements. It is seen by every character in the book and the scenes they play in the story, which is a specific role in creating the Southern Gothic vibe. The story is told by the Compson children, which are Benjy, Quentin, and Jason. Each of the children has their own section in the book in which they describe their characteristics and let the readers know how the Civil War in the South lead for their family to be dysfunctional in different ways. Faulkner’s work is the embodiment of Southern Gothic Style because in his writing a common theme is disintegration as well as a very serious obsession with the Civil War as seen throughout his book with all the characters being deeply flawed in their own ways. In the story, the grotesque atmosphere and social issues worsen as each of the characters tell their story. All of the sections of the book come together to display the symbol of Southern Gothic.

The first section of the essay, “The Most Splendid Failure,” examines The Sound and the Fury as a(n) (ironic) modern recognition of the novel as a failed art form – if not language as a failed communicator.
