Summary: "The Sound and the Fury" by William Faulkner is a novel written in the late 1920s. The narrative unfolds in the American South, exploring the complex dynamics of the Compson family, particularly focusing on the characters of Benjy, a mentally disabled man, and his sister Caddy. It tackles themes of time, loss, and the disintegration of familial bonds. At the start of the story, the reader is introduced to Benjy, who is 33 years old on the day of the narrative, yet experiences the world with a childlike innocence and perception. The opening scenes depict his interactions with Luster, a caretaker, and his memories of Caddy, who is central to his emotional world. Through fragmented thoughts and sensory experiences, Benjy's perspective reveals his longing and confusion as he navigates a family in decline amidst celebrations and personal turmoil. The prose vividly captures the atmosphere around him, emphasizing the significance of memory and sensory detail in shaping his reality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
