This graph (contributed by Joel Deshaye) shows two dimensions of time in The Sound and the Fury: chronological time, and Faulkner's re-ordering of chronological time into the text's narrative sequence. Faulkner scrambles the chronology not only by flashbacks, but also by the non-linear sequence of the novel's sections. Through this graph it becomes clear that the novel follows a conventional in medias res structure, whose existence is otherwise obscured by more local narrative complexities.
