| Abstract | ||
| William Faulkner unfolds an unconventional rendering of time and memory in his novels for he was highly influenced by two of the most famous writers of the age, i.e., the French philosopher and thinker, Henri Bergson and the novelist James Joyce, in their perspectives concerning time, memory and human life. Faulkner attempts to reveal how time is continuous and cannot be stopped like a flowing stream, and that time is measured only by the human memories of the past. To him, time is not orderly and it does not follow a linear or chronological pattern. He argues instead that time is fluid and malleable and that it is measured by human experiences and not by the mechanical ticking of a clock. The paper focuses on Faulkner’s novel, The Sound and the Fury, and its characters’ reaction to their time and past memories. In the present paper I will shed light, and, concentrate on family pressures upon various characters of the novel and what consequences these pressures will bring about. An effort is to be made to show how some characters fall in their life because they are unable to cope with time and memory, while some others endure, be successful and live in a state of relaxation due to their rightful understanding of time and its progress. | ||
