Biography:
Jason's mother is mentioned but not named. Jason convinces her to commit her son Benjy to "the asylum," but later her "whining" and tears force him to bring Benjy back home (354). (Readers of The Sound and The Fury are familiar with her whining, but her maternal grief here may come as a surprise.)
