Jason Compson

I do believe Jason is a villain. Looking at this from the perspective of Caddy's daughter, Quentin, I definitely think he's a villain. He is openly racist, sexist, and clearly does not think highly of lower classes. Given that Caddy's daughter is girl, he's overly rude to her. Yes, she skips school sometimes to be with boys, but he is just plain mean to her. In the first four pages of the chapter, we encounter unnecessary violence towards her when he is grabbing her by the arm, she tries to slap him, and then he drags her into another room-only just to talk to her about her absence from school. This man is filled with hatred.

The mother of the Compson's also fuels Jason's psychotic doings. By showing her favoritism so openly to Jason only fuels his belief that he can get away with anything. It appears as this is the case as the chapter opens. She tells him not to be too hard on Q, but he is anyway because he knows the mother won't do much to stop him. He also leaves work to follow Q around-again fueled by the belief that he can do whatever he wants without worrying about repercussions.



Jason is clearly the villain. He stops his family from doing what they want or need to do. He constantly is trying to send Benjy to Jackson. He won't let Caddy see her daughter. He hardly mentions his brother Quentin at all. He also speaks ill of his father too. When you add all that he does to Caddy's daughter, he is disgusting. He should be despised by all of his family members and it appears as though he is. When you look at Benjy's and Quentin's chapters, it is apparent that Jason is the villain. He is the wrongdoer of the family and he is a psycho. He needs to get help.
