Title:

Southern Values Result in a Household

—a brief analysis of characters in The Sound and the Fury

Abstract

The title and some of the imagery in the novel are derived from a soliloquy by the titular character in Shakespeares tragedy Macbeth. In Act V, Scene v. The novel concerns the downfall of the Compsons, in the first half of the nineteenth century, and sees the rise of a number of prominent Southern families. These aristocratic families espoused American traditional Southern values. Faulkner contends that in the process, the Compsons, and other similar Southern families, lost touch with the reality of the world around them and became lost in a haze of self-absorption. This self-absorption corrupted the core values these families once held dear and left the newer generations completely unequipped to deal with the realities of the modern world.

Key words: American traditional Southern values the Sound and the Fury the modern world

中文摘要

“人生不過是1個(gè)行走的影子，1個(gè)在舞臺(tái)上指手畫腳的拙劣的伶人，登場(chǎng)片刻，就在無聲無息中悄然退下；人生猶如癡人說夢(mèng)，充滿著喧嘩與騷動(dòng)，卻沒有任何意義。”福克納的名作《喧嘩與騷動(dòng)》之書名正來源于莎士比亞名劇《麥克白》中的這段臺(tái)詞。這部以美國(guó)南方為描繪對(duì)象的長(zhǎng)篇小說所反映的是20世紀(jì)初美國(guó)南方社會(huì)貴族莊園主衰亡的歷史，著重表現(xiàn)了傳統(tǒng)觀念與現(xiàn)代意識(shí)、理想與現(xiàn)實(shí)之間的矛盾和沖突。作家通過人物的內(nèi)心體驗(yàn)來揭示其矛盾和沖突帶來的困惑與不安，并把南方地域文化中深沉的歷史感和人們迷惘、失落、憂慮而又不斷探索的精神內(nèi)涵融入作品之中，從而使小說迷離、深邃，充滿了神秘的現(xiàn)代意識(shí)。
