The article offers a close reading of the first section of The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, focusing on the famously difficult Benjy section, which is characterized by fragmented narration and non-linear time. The author re-examines how scene shifts operate in this section, challenging the common view that the narrative is purely chaotic. Instead, the article argues that these shifts follow discernible patterns and triggers, allowing readers to map transitions more systematically.
