Essay / Dilsey Section by William Faulkner - 2051
William Faulkner's epic mode, The Sound and The Fury (1929), in its final chapter entitled "April 8, 1928", occurs on Easter Sunday is a story told by an omniscient third-person narrator who primarily identifies with the values of Compson's servant, Dilsey Gibson. Dilsey is the Compsons' "negro" cook and the pillar of the Compsons who are suffering economically because they are on the brink of the Great Depression. Melancholy appears to be The Compson's final song due to the effects of the era. As a result, the family encounters many obstacles to any progress or prosperity and their hope deteriorates. In turn, this causes them to lose the perpetuation of the family name, Southern aristocratic values, and faith. The Compsons are dissolving not only emotionally, but also from their material possessions due to financial uncertainty. Additionally, they suffer from the diminishment of their family members due to the deaths of Mr. Compson, Jason III and his eldest son, Quentin. The head of the family thus passes from father to son, Jason IV. However, he was a man who could not be relied on emotionally or economically, as he was not a stable man. Jason is a constant whiner, greedy, petty, petty, and very cynical. Therefore, it becomes evident that Dilsey – the woman, the dark, enduring Other – is the pillar of strength of the Compson family, and using the theoretical perspective of Monique Wittig developing an effective critique of the Dilsey section, it appears that this chapter is the core of The Sound and The Fury.Monique Wittig, (1935 – 2003) French novelist, social theorist, poet and professor of women's studies and French at the University of...... mid paper ...... man."
