The aim of my current research in the frame of my PhD studies is to study the time structure of William Faulkner’s The Soun d and the Fury, with special attention to Benjy’s chapter, in order to establish whether there is a cohesive link between any two consecutive, apparently disconnected episodes narrated in Benjy’s part. The theoretical framework builds upon the theories on narrative syntax , from Aristotle to Propp, Lévi - Strauss, Greimas, Todorov and Genette, on the one hand, and the research on the concept of time across disciplines such as physics, psychology and philosophy, on the other. The methodology includes both quant itative (measurement of the number of lines devoted to each episode) and qualitative (analysis of the shifts in time and classification of linking mechanisms) techniques. The analysis shows that we can determine the element acting as a connector between tw o episodes, and identify the different events where the episodes belong to, so as to be able to make a diagram of the many shifts in time cont ained, and a scheme of the Comps ons’ farm where the action takes place. The results will help readers to locate in space and time the different episodes and events in the novel, and also may shed some light on the narrative structure and cohesive mechanisms in William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury .The aim of my current research in the frame of my PhD studies is to study the time structure of William Faulkner’s The Soun d and the Fury, with special attention to Benjy’s chapter, in order to establish whether there is a cohesive link between any two consecutive, apparently disconnected episodes narrated in Benjy’s part.
