Time is one of the main realities of human existence which leads our life. The life of the mankind depends on time. Time may heal and time may destroy human fates. William Faulkner’s treatment and representation of time is considered to be revolutionary in the American literature. It is quite complicated for an ordinary reader to comprehend the stream of time in Faulkner’s works. Faulkner represents time from different points of view. It is not understood as a constant and linear entity by William Faulkner. The past, the present and the future have fuzzy boundaries. Faulkner aims at the representation of time as a human mind perceives it. Many people confuse time with chronology. Time is associated with clocks and calendars which are invented by man. What is time in a real life? How does it influence our life? Time is perceived by every man in a different way. Old people who count every latest second of their life appreciate time more than young people who scatter about the invaluable minutes of their life. Faulkner’s representation of time is characterized by the inconclusiveness of the chronicle. The readers know about Benjy’s institutionalism, Quentin’s suicide and the daughter’s theft only from the appendix to the novel (Mainar, p. 68). Generally, the action in every classical novel has the focus. It is senseless to look for such kind of focus in Faulkner’s The Sound and The Fury . Each episode represented by the narrator invokes another one in his memory. In fact, most episodes refer to the past. The present is not sharply defined as the boundary between the past and the future. It is presented as the thief who comes upon us and disappears. The present is helpless before the past. It is full of holes through which past things invade it. The future doesn’t exist at all in Faulkner’s works. The past destroys all hopes for the future. In The Sound and The Fury “everything occurs in the wings; nothing happens, everything has happened” (Sartre, p. 227). The statement of Jean-Paul Sartre, characterizing the essence of Faulkner’s heroes is: “I am not is, I was” (p. 227). They are people without future. The future is already the past. The Compson are condemned to failure. The story is not in progress, each word is presented as an oppressive and hateful presence. It is a misfortune for every character to be confined in time (Sartre, p. 226). As William Faulkner states in The Sound and The Fury : “…a man is the sum of his misfortunes. One day you’d think misfortune would get tired, but then time is your misfortune…” (p. 123). These words cast light upon the sense of time in Faulkner’s novel. Time is one of the main reasons of the destruction of the Compson family. The notion of time in The Sound and the Fury is characterized by a subtlety. The actions of the present are depicted as scattered fragments: “I went to the dresser and took up the watch, with the face still down. I tapped the crystal on the corner of the dresser and caught the fragments of glass in my hand and put them into the ashtray and twisted the hands off and put them in the tray. The watch ticked on” (p. 99). While time is passing, nothing happens. Jean-Paul Sartre considers suspension as one of the main characteristics of Faulkner’s present (p. 227). This suspension is not presented in abstract terms. It is perceived in the things: “The train swung around the curve, the engine puffing with short, heavy blasts, and they
