Question

Discuss Quentin Compton's internal and external conflict in the sound and the fury. ​

Answer 1

Internal and External Conflict

Explanation:

• There is a desire to overcome the outward obstacles that restrict Quentin's sense of self, but there is also an internal fight raging within his mind and spirit.

• This makes his life exceedingly tough, making suicide a possibility, and making the distinction between internal and external forces unclear

• While I believe that, in the same way as the narrator in the second half alternates between reality and imagination, the internal and external tensions that arise must be acknowledged.

• At the same time, Quentin has conflicting sentiments about the issue, and he acknowledges his own divided feelings about it.

• While Caddy is surrounded by feelings of love and compassion, as well as uncontrollable anger and violence.

• It is here that the tension between internal and outward representations can be observed, which defines and haunts Quentin's character.

• As i  believe you may identify the conflicts existing and then argue that they are both internal and external, expressing both aspects.
