In speaking of stream of consciousness in "The Sound and the Fury," one must take into account a few factors. Amongst them, confusion of chronology and dislocated time sequences are the most important. From Faulkner's point of view, time, more than anything else, is the ordering principle of social relations that, according to its organic connection with social situation and individual consciousness, creates different levels of consciousness. For example, in the case of Benjy, lack of consciousness may lead to a chaotic sense of time that may also paradoxically be linear. Or, time, as is the case with Quentin, may assume a philosophical dimension, a state, which results from his conscious wrestling with the questions of identity, honor and desire. In relation to Jason, the significance of time is locked with the importance of financial success. The flashbacks and transitions from the present to the past in Jason's mind are always associated with events in which he has lost a profit. Consequently, Jason always thinks that he has lost a deal and therefore he is drawn where he thinks he is behind time. But apart from these three conceptions of time, there is another view of time. This view of time, without emphasizing any of them in particular, combines the three different senses of time that are associated with Benjy, Quentin and Jason. It is natural that this complex and multi-dimensional view of time should affect the structure of the novel.

The trajectory fully depends on the chronotopes used within the whole novel, as chronotopes establish the relationship between the fictional world and the hero. Hence the chronotopic approach to reading helps not only to define and compare literary genres but also establish the connection between the main hero and the author, the world of narrative and the hero, and the reader and the author. In that, "we cannot help but be strongly impressed by the representational importance of the chronotope".
