The only person who represents the real aim of the author is Dilsey. For instance, Quentin relies on his old tradition to provide order Jason attempts to use the old tradition for his personal gain Benjy also attempts to rely on his old traditions, but he becomes upset when he fails in providing this order. Each one of this family defines the chaos in different way. This conflict is revealed in Faulkner's characters in their struggle between order and chaos, and resurrection and renewal. This contradiction identifies "the conflict between the autonomy of the artist and his immersion in the history" (1). Faulkner is aware of the corrupted traditions that the family adopt, yet this awareness failed to convey his real narrative voice. Except Dilsey, the corrupted aristocratic values in the Compson family reflect the author's "dramatization of what he understood as a reality" (1). The tradition of the Compson family implies duality in this novel. This paper tries to analyze the language and the dialogue between characters in William Faulkner's "The Sound and The Fury" and its conflict with the reality of the author.
