William Faulkner was an outstanding writer who was awarded Nobel Prize for Literature and Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his great contribution to American literature. In his whole literary life, he created many famous novels and short stories, such as, The Reivers, Absalom, Absalom, and A Rose for Emily. Published in 1929, The Sound and the Fury is Faulkner’s masterpiece which employs several narrative styles, including stream of consciousness. The Sound and the Fury depicts two different typical women (a white woman and a black woman) who witness the development of feminism with the background of the fallen southern economy in America. The present paper aims to give a feminist analysis of Caddy’s thoughts from the perspectives of her rebellion against the southern ladyhood and the pursuit of freedom and independence.
