《喧哗与骚动》是威廉·福克纳最著名的作品，几乎每个人都对这个名字耳熟能详。它以四个人物的不同视角将一个故事讲了四遍，如同一部交响乐的四个乐章，构筑了一个立体主义的美国南方社会，其创作手法之大胆丰富，足以为一部“创作艺术教科书”，是现当代文坛罕见的大手笔。《喧哗与骚动》被福克纳认作自己“最伟大的作品”，它也是公认的福克纳小说中最精美的一部。
《喧哗与骚动》书名取自莎士比亚《麦克白》一句台词：“生活就像傻子讲的故事，满是聒噪和狂怒（喧哗与骚动），却没有任何意义。”小说主题也在被这句台词说中。
《喧哗与骚动》（The Sound and the Fury）是美国作家威廉·福克纳创作的长篇小说，创作于1929年。
该小说讲述的是南方没落地主康普生一家的家族悲剧。老康普生游手好闲、嗜酒贪杯。其妻自私冷酷、怨天尤人。长子昆丁绝望地抱住南方所谓的旧传统不放，因妹妹凯蒂风流成性、有辱南方淑女身份而爱恨交加，竟至溺水自杀。次子杰生冷酷贪婪，三子班吉则是个白痴，三十三岁时只有三岁小儿的智能。全文通过这三个儿子的内心独白，围绕凯蒂的堕落展开，最后则由黑人女佣迪尔西对前三部分的“有限视角”做一补充。该作品采用了多角度的叙述方法。

The Sound and the Fury is a novel by American writer William Faulkner, published in 1929 by Jonathan Cape & Harrison Smith. Initially, the book did not enjoy a strong commercial reputation. Interestingly, years later, Faulkner stated that he had written his subsequent novel, Sanctuary (1931), primarily for money, whereas he always considered The Sound and the Fury his "most splendid failure."
A consistent element in the author's work, which makes this a typically American narrative, is the focus on characters from the Southern United States. This is the region where Faulkner spent his childhood and most of his life. Given the period when his struggles with alcohol intensified, one might assume the author already possessed a long-standing familiarity with alcoholism. Furthermore, contrary to the idea that the title is unrelated to the plot, it is actually a vital reference to Shakespeare's Macbeth, symbolizing the tragic and chaotic nature of the story.
This was Faulkner's fourth novel. Regardless of the titles attributed to his works, the author—who debuted as a poet and later as a writer of short stories—never left any doubt regarding the literary talent that would eventually lead him to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949.
The work is composed of four parts. While they are interconnected, the prose style varies significantly in each. The first section reflects the stream of consciousness of Benjy, a thirty-three-year-old man with an intellectual disability. This part is characterized by fragmented dialogue, often dominated by the voices of children or their cries and complaints.
In this first section, the structure is complex; the author masks the narrative logic through temporal shifts that require deep focus from the reader. In contrast, the second part becomes more cerebral, exploring the psychological torment of Quentin Compson and offering a dense, fascinating reading experience.
The third section is the most straightforward. The childhood cries disappear, and the narration becomes sharp and cynical, set against a backdrop of economic bitterness. Despite the protagonist's unpleasant nature, the fluidity of the writing ensures a compelling pace.
To conclude, the fourth section serves as a synthesis of the previous chapters. It resolves the underlying tensions and addresses themes of moral decay and family honor—elements that originally inspired the author to write the book.
