William Faulkner Quentin

Quentin Compson, the intellectual, neurotic, and introspective son of the Compson family created by William Faulkner, plays a crucial role in classic masterpieces including The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom!. Set against the backdrop of the declining aristocratic society of the post-Civil War American South, Faulkner depicts through Quentin a human figure struggling with obsession over lost glory, the weight of time, and the gap between moral ideals and reality.
