As I reflect back on, The Sound and the Fury, I have come to the conclusion that I have mixed opinions about this novel.  In the beginning of the first section, if someone were to ask me if I liked this novel I would have strongly replied, NO!  The first section was clearly almost impossible to understand.  I thought to myself, how am I ever going to get through with this novel?  Benjy’s narration was almost all over the place since he had no concept of time and jumped back to memories without giving any sense that his memories were scattered about in time.  Once I went on to Quentin’s and Jason’s sections, putting together the pieces of the novel became a little less confusing.  Although I did not find myself to enjoy reading this novel, I must admit that I was always curious to see what would happen next with the Compson boys.  Jason, Quentin, and Benjy are all very unique you can say.  Although they may not be defined as “normal” in todays society, I thought it was interesting to read and try to understand how a family could have so many problems as they did.  Faulkner definately wrote this with the intentions of making his readers try to put the pieces together.
