Sobre O Som e a Fúria e Luz em Agosto

Abstract

In this paper, it is intended to approximate two Faulkner’s novels, The Sound and the Fury and Light in August, to reach a higher comprehension of what is understood by us as structuring force in the author’s work: time and space confinement. For that to be achieved, it is necessary to study how the characters’ journeys and escape trials are frustrated or successful. To illustrate that point, we use two chapters in which the confinement and possible freedom are noticed through the language and syntax used by their narrators.
