Jason comes off as a particularly coarse character in comparison to the other members of the Compson family, including the staff who may as well be considered family too. As many can and have pointed out Jason has a misogynist and racist frame of mind accompanied with a terribly selfish attitude. What struck me during his section is how concerned he seems to be about the very people he has a distaste for. Throughout Jason’s recount of things he notes time and time again the activities he feels women can’t do properly or should be doing instead. The first account of this is how he feels Quentin should be in the kitchen cooking instead of “gobbing paint on her face” (Faulkner 180). Later on, he states it’s “just like a woman” (Faulkner 190) when Caddy is late sending money as if he expects women to be incapable of handling business and money- and he treats them in such a fashion. He handles every Compson woman’s finances: the money Quentin receives from Caddy, the money Caddy attempts to give to see Quentin, and Mrs. Compson’s account and power of attorney. For a man that has so much disdain for women, he insists on being the center of their world. I’m aware of the time period The Sound and the Fury takes place in, this is a time (and a place) where men are expected to take charge of such things. Outside of the women’s financial business, Jason insists on inserting himself in the role of Quentin’s guide. I use that term very loosely as Jason only wants to beat Quentin into submission as opposed to letting Mrs. Compson and Dilsey handle her. He also takes it upon himself to be concerned about what his workers do or don’t do. When he points out that Quentin should be in the kitchen instead of them, he expresses the idea that they do nothing and are lazy. He repeats this sentiment when he goes hunting for Quentin and finds his tire has gone flat, “I just stood there for a while, thinking about that kitchen full of [n-word] and not one of them had time to lift a tire onto the rack and screw up a couple of bolts.” (Faulkner 242). Jason also pays his attention to the activities he believes the Jewish community is up to that in one way or another personally affects him (or so he believes). Jason’s section begins with the iconic line, “Once a bitch always a bitch, what I say.” setting the tone for the rest of the chapter. What he doesn’t realize is that line is a reflection of himself. He is inadvertently calling himself out. I’m not in favor of using a derogatory term but as Jason insists on using it so, he is acting in much the same annoying way he expects women and non-white people to act. As he has always been that way, self-serving, and misogynist/racist, he will always be.
