It focuses specifically on Quentin Compson’s section in Faulkner’s novel. The study argues that Faulkner echoes stylistic and thematic elements from “Nausicaa,” including representations of sexuality, desire, guilt, and interior consciousness. Both texts depict characters caught between fantasy and reality, using stream-of-consciousness techniques and fragmented perception. In Quentin’s narrative, these echoes intensify themes of obsession, purity, and moral anxiety, especially in relation to his sister Caddy. The article suggests that Faulkner adapts and transforms Joyce’s techniques to fit his own Southern context, creating a darker and more tragic psychological landscape. Ultimately, the essay demonstrates how intertextual dialogue with Joyce enriches the reading of Faulkner, revealing modernism as a transnational network of influence and experimentation.</p> The Johns Hopkins University Press Fall 1997/Spring 1998 pdf ISSN 0884-2949 Comparative literature "The Storm-Tossed Heart of Man": Echoes of "Nausicaa" in Quentin's Section of "The Sound and the Fury" mixed material The Johns Hopkins University Press
