Here's what I wrote after reading in 1989: "So MGA meets Faulkner's Compsons, a pathetic collection of demented, decaying individuals. Poor Benjy, lamenting for years the loss of his Caddy. Poor Quentin, growing up without her mother and with her Uncle Jason. Poor all of them. Was Faulkner correct in portaying these people as representative of decaying Southern families. Was it this extreme? Did it truly seem so to him?" ( ) Once I got past the unusual narrative style, I got caught up in the story of the decline of the Southern Compson family. However, I'm glad I read the book as part of a English Lit class because it is a very difficult read if you don't have some guidance. In addition to class discussions, The Sound and the Fury reading guide created by the University of the Mississippi was very helpful. The guide provides useful hints to help you decipher the more complicated sections of the novel. no reviews | add a review
