Kim, MiNa. “Quentin’s Tragedy in Family Dynamics.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 37.1 (2011): 1-19. This paper suggests that Quentin’s motive for committing suicide is in his family dynamics and examines his relationships with his father, mother and sister Caddy who are believed to have a great influence on him. The Sound and the Fury is a story about the tragedy of the Compson family caused by the dysfunctional parents, Mr. & Mrs Compson. Self-pitying Mrs. Compson rejects her maternal role and withholds her love from her children, and Mr. Compson escapes from reality and indulges in drinking and cynical nihilism. As a result, all their four children suffer and live self-destructive lives. The eldest son, Quentin, in particular, falls into despair at Caddy’s loss of virginity, which he regards as the family honor. In addition, his family’s mixed, contradictory messages confuse him about his identity and finally leads him to choose death. Faulkner, who frequently took the family as a theme, emphasizes the importance of a family paradoxically through the tragedy of a dysfunctional family. (Jeonju University)
