In The Sound and the Fury, William Faulkner's use of the stream-of-conscious style coupled with the degeneration of language and disordered time frame all consider the internal struggles of each character. Human morality and idealism is contrasted with the corruption of the American South as the human heart conflicts against itself.
The purpose: to pretty much say that Faulkner's style of writing lends itself to one of the major themes within the book.
The need: the entire thing just seems so inelegant and blunt (in a very bad and boring way); it doesn't really flow well. The big points are gotten across (I think?!?), but it still has to be streamlined as well as smothered in literary make-up. Suggestions involving word usage and sentence structure would be most appreciated!
