Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the two key aspects considered vital for unraveling the true reason(s) behind the tragic fate of the character of Quentin Compson in Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury. The aspects are classified as forensic – meant to follow the character's actions relevant to the case in real time narration and psychological – organized as a kind of self-imposed study of the character's state of mind during the day. The analysis of the deed is meant to give some clear insights and answers to those acquainted with the novel but still baffled with the gloomy and mysterious circumstances in which Faulkner's hero was put into.
