Abstract

The Sound and the Fury have stood faithful vigil, invoking Faulkner's variations on the creed. In most essays on the work there is the near-obligatory Caddy who is brave, the Quentin who loved some concept of Compson honor, the Mr. Compson who reminds us that no Compson ever disappointed a lady, and the New Essays on The Sound and the Fury bellowing, ricklickshun, doomed, damned, first and last. They [the critics] endure, offering fellow Faulknerians extraordinary and comforting consensus about the Compson boys, Caddy’s energy, and Dilsey’s strength, along with breathtakingly unanimous as sessments of Mrs. Compson, who has served faithfully as the Rotten Mother for critics to rail against.
