Abstract

The Sound and the Fury is not only about the downfall of the prominent Compson family, but also about the great effect brought by the loss of Caddy on the family. This paper tries to analyse Caddy’s degeneration mainly from the perspectives of her three brothers, the three narrators in the novel, Benjy, Quentin and Jason who tried to keep Caddy static and deprived her of the freedom to pursue her happiness and value in her life through their objectification of her to be the objects such as the tree, the monument of honor or a commodity they wanted her to be respectively.
