ENG250Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Compson Family, Jean-Paul Sartre, Oedipus Complex
Document Summary
Faulkner, the sound and the fury part ii: the first thing that strikes one in reading the sound and the fury is its technical oddity. The reader is tempted to look for guide-marks and to re-establish the chronology for himself; Jason and caroline compson have had 3 sons and a daughter. The daughter, cady, has given herself to dalton ames and become pregnant by him. Forced to get hold of a husband quickly here the reader stops, for he realizes he is telling another story. Jean-pal sartre, on the sound & the fury: time in the work of faulkner : can be seen a tragedy. He doesn"t know how to slow it down, or how to deal with it: faulkner"s work foregrounds the problems of periods in time and whether someone can/can"t remove themselves from time without being damaged by it. It"s redundant to try to summarize the novel since it"s also about writing novels.
