How readers should understand the intertextual relationship between these two great novels is one of the most provocative questions in Faulkner criticism. ![]() The most obvious of these is The Sound and the Fury, where three of Absalom's narrators - Quentin Compson, his father, and his Harvard roommate Shreve - had all appeared earlier, along with Luster, the young black servant in the Compson household.

It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. The world is in a continual state of flux.

The slave auctioneer’s bell and the church-going bell chime in with each other, and the bitter cries of the heart-broken slave are drowned in the religious shouts of his pious master. The man who wields the blood-clotted cowskin during the week fills the pulpit on Sunday, and claims to be a minister of the meek and lowly Jesus. We have men-stealers for ministers, women-whippers for missionaries, and cradle-plunderers for church members. Never was there a clearer case of 'stealing the livery of the court of heaven to serve the devil in.' I am filled with unutterable loathing when I contemplate the religious pomp and show, together with the horrible inconsistencies, which every where surround me.
