Settings of the story the sound and the fury?

Answer 1

There are two general settings of The Sound and the Fury.

One is the Compson family home in Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County. Readers should note that from when it is presented in a flashback through one of the narrator's minds, the Compson estate is the home of a Southern Aristocratic family - and by the end of the narration, has been reduced in size and lost much of the luster it once held.

The second setting is Harvard, where Quentin, the eldest Compson son, goes to school.

Both settings feature a static quality - characters in these settings do not delve far from the setting.

Answer 2

"The Sound and the Fury" by William Faulkner is set in the American South, primarily in Jefferson, Mississippi, during the early 20th century. The story takes place on the fictional Compson family estate and follows the decline of the Compson family. The novel is known for its complex narrative structure and shifting perspectives.
