The Sound and the Fury is probably one of the most unique novels I've ever begun. The fact that the timeline is so clumped together gives the storyline, if possible, even more understandable, as it helps the reader to better understand how Benjy's thought processes work. However, throughout the novel the separate timelines are dispersed, but chronologically, which shows the absolute skill and talent William Faulkner clearly possesses. The difficulty and advanced writing skills used within the novel are very impressive, and make me want to read more of Faulkner's writing. I think and hope the most interesting part of this novel will be the narration of Benjy in a more objective view.

  1. That's the first thing that I thought right when I began this novel as well!! At first I wasn't sure what to think, because the events were so out of order, inconsistent, and the characters and narration was very odd. I like how you mentioned that you were inclined to continue reading the novel because of just how odd it was! Great job, I agree!!
