《喧嚣与骚动》之绵延解读

A Duration Interpretation of The Sound and the Fury

威廉·福克纳的《喧嚣与骚动》打破了传统的以钟表时间为顺序的情节构思,转向了对人物时间意识的挖掘。小说安排了四个不同的叙述者即康普森三兄弟:班吉、昆丁和杰生以及黑人女仆迪尔西。康普森三兄弟从不同的角度讲述了同一个故事,透露出他们不断变化的时间意识:班吉只看到现在,昆丁却停留于过去,而杰生只在乎眼前和不久的将来。

TheSoundandtheFurywritten by William Faulkner turns to explore characters＇ time consciousness, instead of traditionally arranging the plots by the time sequence. In this novel, Faulkner arranges four different narrators, the three Compson children, Benjy , Quentin,Jason and a＂Negron＂servant Dilsey. They tell a same story from different angle, which indicates their dynamic time consciousness. There is only present in Benjy＇s eyes;Quentin is always reliving the past;Jason only cares the present and the near future.
