this paper is an attempt to manifest the paradox of " other" in william faulkner s the sound and the fury and light in august.Undr the light of dialogism, the researcher tries to prove thet on the one hand the two novels are dialogic and on the other hand. the culture repending on the other the culture introduced in them is monologic.In other words while faulkner s works become meaningful depending on the "other" the introduced in them denies lterity. this is a big paradox. an indirect. in order to prove that faulkner s the sound and the fury and the fury and light in august are meaningful based on the "other", it shiuld be menitioned that they have a corrobrative dialogue with foucault s madness and civiliazation. in other words they stylize it. In aodition to prove that the culture imbedded in these works denies alterity. several levels of discrimination could be examined.They could be put under the general title of discrimination against the "other"
