What Just Happened? Chapter 1 The Sound and the Fury with Benjy - Summary, Analysis William Faulkner

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Okay, so Chapter 1 can be a show stopper for many people. I know it was for me on my first read. Let's talk about Benjy Compson and his view of the world. He is a very unique narrator with his Associative Thinking. We bounce between April 7th, 1928 and many other points in the Compson Timeline. Let's walk through some of the major events and how to make sense of some things for this story.
