FAULKNER WILLIAM THE SOUND AND THE FURY THE COR...

The Sound and the Fury is the tragedy of the Compson family  featuring some of the most
memorable characters in literature: beautiful  rebellious Caddy  the manchild Benjy  haunted 
neurotic Quentin  Jason  the brutal cynic  and Dilsey  their black servant. Their lives
fragmented and harrowed by history and legacy  the character's voices and actions mesh to
create what is arguably Faulkner's masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth
century. "I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire. . . . I give it to you not that you
may remember time  but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all of
your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even
fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair  and victory is an illusion of
philosophers and fools." -from The Sound and the Fury
