The institutions like family are no more helpful for him as the individual spirit in him has estranged him from social constructs. He is also at a loss to deal with the appetites he is born with. The clash of individual with society is also a recurrent theme in modern literature. The novels chosen for analysis portray the dilemmas of modern man: dealing with the problems of sex, racism, identity crisis and breaking family ties. The novels like Nightwood, Invisible Man, Passing and Sound and Fury though thematically encompass different domains, yet all of them present modern sensibility and its issues in a very beautiful narrative style. We can see that in all the stories individual is trying to come to terms with the world around him. Before embarking on spiritual journey into the souls of characters like Benjy, Jason, Quinten and others, it seems pertinent to deal with the notions of modernism and modernities. Modernism The term “ modernism” refers to that works of art, music and literature that were produced during the first part of the twentieth century’. Modernism’s first problem is its lack of demarking clear-cut chronological boundaries. We can not say for sure that such and such period can be put into the category of modern era or the cultural constructs of such and such period deserve the title “ modernism”. ...

Modernity then is a temporal/historical concept by which we refer to our understanding of the present in its unique historical presentness, that is , in what distinguishes it from the past, from the various relics or survivals of the past, and also in what it promises for the future— in what allows us to guess, rightly or wrongly, about the future and its trends, quests, and discoveries(Calinescu,1993, pp.1-20). After giving a brief definitions of concepts of modernism and modernity, we will analyze some modern American novels which depict modern sensibilities at its best. Sound and Fury is a novel written by Faulkner with certain stylistic experiments in narrative techniques by extending the dimensions of stream of consciousness techniques to new horizons. Sound and Fury: a story of disintegrated family Sound and Fury depicts the story of a family that is facing an utter chaos in their lives. The family ties are at the verge of breaking. The parents of the family instead of bringing their children closer and strengthening the bond of family are trying to find escape in religion and liquor. The family seems to be under some sort of ‘curse’ which is stopping them from restoring balance in their lives. The writer seems to have given the sense of chaos even through the narrative technique. The style of narrative is innovative. The story has been told in first person narratives of three members of Compson family. Interestingly the first part of the story is told by an ‘idiot’ of the family Benjy whose life was dependent on the much loved girl of the family named Caddy who in the end brought shame and disgrace to the family by becoming a virgin mother.
