Abstract

William Cuthbert Faulkner was one of the most established prominent novelists of his era. Faulkner was an American, who won the Nobel Prize from Oxford, Mississippi. He was an outstanding writer who was awarded Nobel Prize for Literature and Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his great contribution to American literature. In the entire part of his literary life, he created many famous novels and short stories, such as, The Reivers, Absalom, Absalom, and A Rose for Emily. ‘The Sound and the Fury’ is Faulkner’s masterpiece which employs several narrative styles at his best in the career. In The Sound and the Fury, Faulkner depicts two different typical women characters (a white woman and a black woman) who witness the development of feminism with the background of the fallen southern economy in America. This present research paper is to intend to portray the perspective analysis of feministic characterisation of Caddy’s thoughts and other related feminine characters how they view the society and their family. Feminine rebellion against the southern lady hood and the pursuit of freedom and independence are analysed to give a clear picture of William Faulkner’s theme over the play.
