23 English eng Parker, Robert Dale Contributor <p data-start="200" data-end="460">The article offers a close reading of the first section of <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline" style="">The Sound and the Fury</span> by <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline" style="">William Faulkner</span>, focusing on the famously difficult <span data-start="374" data-end="391" style="">Benjy section</span>, which is characterized by fragmented narration and non-linear time. The author re-examines how <span data-start="489" data-end="505" style="">scene shifts</span> operate in this section, challenging the common view that the narrative is purely chaotic. Instead, the article argues that these shifts follow <span data-start="650" data-end="687" style="">discernible patterns and triggers</span>, allowing readers to map transitions more systematically.</p> The Johns Hopkins University Press Spring 1999 pdf ISSN 0884-2949 Literary Studies "Where you want to go now": Recharting the Scene Shifts in the First Section of "The Sound and the Fury" mixed material The Johns Hopkins University Press
