World in Sound, Consciousness in Fury---Comment on The Sound and the Fury
Abstract
The Sound and The Fury is a work which Faulkner like it best and try his most efforts to write .it is also his first mature
novel. There are lots of multiple narrative points of view and stream of consciousness writing technique applied in the novel,
which make the novel puzzling illusory, obscure and hard understand, Just as Faulkner’s life. [1] He experienced many setbacks
and impacts in his life so that he wanted to express his inner emotion by creating all kinds of morbid figures telling the turbulent
consciousness in the novel. He mentioned Yoknapatawpha Jefferson town many times in his works. It’s the world he created. He is
the king of the world. He can do whatever he want there just to console himself because the real world he lived is so sound and fury.
