Abstract

This paper provides an in-depth analysis of William Faulkner's narrative technique in "The Sound and the Fury," with a specific focus on his use of long sentences and multi-perspective storytelling. Faulkner's innovative approach to sentence structure is examined as a key element in shaping the novel's thematic depth and emotional resonance. Each section of the novel, presented through different characters' viewpoints, is characterized by unique sentence constructions that reflect individual mental states and emotional experiences. The paper explores how these long, complex sentences enhance the reader's understanding of themes such as time, memory, and identity. Additionally, the interaction between Faulkner's elongated sentences and the multi-perspective narrative is analyzed as a crucial device in conveying the fragmented and chaotic nature of the characters' lives and their broader social context. The paper concludes that Faulkner's work, through its stylistic complexity and depth, continues to resonate as a seminal exploration of the human condition.
