I. Introduction
1.1A brief introduction to William Faulkner
William Faulkner (born William Cuthbert Faulkner), (September 25, 1897-July 6, 1962) was an American author. He is regarded as one of the most influential writers of the twenties century, and was awarded the 1949 Nobel Prize in literature.

Their sister Caddy and her sexual life are very much a focus in each section. The final section is narrated by an omniscient narrator. Caddy’s loss of her virginity has a great influence on the three brothers. Benjy is close to。
