Biography:
In this novel Jason Compson is Mrs. Compson's son and the owner of "the McCaslin Hardware Company" (355); the father after whom, in other texts, he is named is mentioned in The Mansion but not by name. In some respects Jason is as underhanded and unscrupulous as Flem Snopes, whom he tries, unsuccessfully, to out-maneuver in a real estate deal.
