The Sound And The Fury Many novels have been written using flashback. Their content can be described as informative and filling. However, some authors, who use flashback in their writings, confuse the reader by writing out of sequence. Equipped with suspense, frustration, and even pity, William Faulkner’s The Sound And The Fury is a novel one needs to have patience and concentration to comprehend. The characters in this novel are all very opposite and separately unique. There are four chapters in the novel that are narrated by four different people. The first three chapters consist of the combined memories, inner monologues, and voices of the three Compson brothers. The author narrates the fourth chapter as an attached observer. Each of the Compson’s accounts occurs on different days. The brothers are Benjy, a severely retarded thirty-three year old man, confessing in April of 1928; Quentin, an educated Harvard student, speaking in June of 1910; and Jason, a resentful farm-supply store worker, speaking also in April of 1928. Caddy doesn’t have a monologue, but is the organized center of the novel. She is the only daughter and the second oldest of the Compson family.
