Personally, the ending to The Sound and the Fury was disappointing in a number of ways, the main being that Caddy was not the one to narrate the final chapter. She is perhaps the most important character in the whole story, yet she did not even get a chance to speak. And it was also a little boring to find out nothing after Miss Quentin's leaving, though it is implied that the Compson's name has been irreversibly tarnished.
An interesting thing about the ending is that it takes place on Easter Sunday, a day representative of Christ's resurrection, and overall hope. That certainly made me think as it seems a bit more than coincidence that this chapter just happened to take place then. Really, the only main hope left in the family is Dilsey, as she presents strong, moral values unlike any other member of the Compson family. It is a bit ironic, that a black servant in the heart of the deep south is the only merit left to this prestigious white family.
