Final post

This last chapter was a very chaotic one. With Ms. Quentin running away and stealing all of Jason's money (which ironically belonged to her in the first place), I was so astonished that this was the last chapter. How is Faulkner going to close this off? I never thought I would be content with an ending like the one Faulkner chose; he led the reader to think even more than they already had. The book ended on Easter Sunday, which in many ways represented resurrection of the Compsons; it revealed a new hope. I think this is also seen by the narrative choice. The third person narrative provides a very open view of the Compson's, no judgement is made by the narrator, and an almost clean perspective is given to the reader.

Jason's Chapter

Jason, unlike any other character, is constantly worrying about what others think of him. He views himself as an elite member of society and is very condescending towards others. "Just like a woman. Six days late. Yet they try to make men believe that they're capable of conducting a business." This quotation is seen on page 120. This is one of the many quotations taken from Jason that are patronizing towards a certain group of people.

One of the nice things in Jason's chapter is that it makes sense! After ready Bengy and Quentin's chapters that are twisted and mangled and make little sense without reading in depth,  Jason's chapter is a breeze to read. I almost enjoyed Jason, even though his condescending manner, more than Quentin or Benjy just because I was able to actually read and understand Jason. He had opinions about everything and his chapter had some intense action scenes.
