The Sound and the Fury

William Faulkner wrote a novel in the style of the stream of consciousness, popular at the beginning of the 20th century. The narration blends with the characters’ memories and thoughts. To make it easier to follow, we’ve added sound effects.

At the center of the plot is a tragic story of the once wealthy and influential Southern Compson family, now sinking into decline. The events of the novel are shown through the perception of four different characters, each of whom, in their own way, reveals family dramas, betrayals, and inner conflicts.

In this novel, William Faulkner explores the themes of loss, the collapse of the seven, the destruction of traditions, and the search for meaning amid chaos.
