Abstract
Published in 1929, The Sound and the Fury is one of the most perplexing novels written by William Faulkner. Dealing with many problems of the post-war Southern area of the United States, the novel is set in Faulkner’s fictional Yoknapatawpha County. Both the novel’s setting and themes point out that this masterpiece of Faulkner’s oeuvre is a prime example of literary (sub)genre known as Southern Gothic. The first chapter of the paper thus discusses the Gothic genre and the Southern Gothic (sub)genre and how the two of them are connected. The second chapter elaborates the historical background of the post-war Southern area in which The Sound and the Fury is set. In the last two chapters, the textual analysis of Southern Gothic tropes shows why The Sound and the Fury can be categorized as Sothern Gothic. The tropes that are analyzed are the setting, unusual events, a suffering woman who discovers a serious secret, and the usage of Southern female stereotypes of mammy, Dixie Madonna, and Southern belle as (de)constructed by the characters of Dilsey, Caroline Compson, and Caddy and Quentin Compson.
