Time
Faulkner’s treatment and representation of time in this
novel was hailed as revolutionary. Faulkner suggests that time is
not a constant or objectively understandable entity, and that humans
can interact with it in a variety of ways. Benjy has no concept
of time and cannot distinguish between past and present. His disability
enables him to draw connections between the past and present that
others might not see, and it allows him to escape the other Compsons’
obsessions with the past greatness of their name. |
