 * This wiki will guide us through our reading and analysis of [|The Sound and the Fury] by William Faulkner. You may discover that this book is quite different from the previous ones we have read, both in narrative style and plot progression, and for that reason we will use this wiki page to help us understand what happens throughout the text. On this page, we will gain a quick introduction to the book; look to the following pages for a bit more about the author, characters and book sections. Hopefully by the final page of //The Sound and the Fury//, you will see why even [|Oprah] loves this novel.**

About William Faulkner
** This page will offer highlights from the author's life and provide a bit of insight into what may have influenced the characters and events of //The Sound and the Fury//. **

Characters in The Sound and the Fury
**We will encounter several different members of the Compson family, as well as other family and acquaintances of the Compsons. Because you may have difficulty determining the family structure at the outset of the text, especially throughout Benjy's narration, we'll use this page to give us some helpful background information on these characters.**

Text Sections
** //The Sound and the Fury// is split into four main sections, each titled with a specific date. I recommend reading the text section first, then reviewing with this page; if you encounter difficulties with the text, however, you may look to this page for assistance. Each section includes reflection questions that you will be responsible for answering in your response journal.
