The Sound and the Fury

I just closed this one. Dear Faulkner with his many voices. I'll have more thoughts and questions later, but right now I'm noticing that he chose to tell the fourth and final segment of this novel not in various first person voices, like the first three segments, but in the third person attached to Dilsey. We don't ever enter her mind--she's a mute observer. For those of you who eventually read this...what do you make of that?

Also read: Marilynne Robinson's Home and the rest of the Hunger Games trilogy.
