Biography: 

Many different people from Yoknapatawpha appear in the novel. This icon refers to the imagined - if not hallucinated - version of that group that Jason Compson seems to be arguing with as he sits alone in his car while chasing his niece through the county: he compares his family to "you," as in "you all were running little shirt tail country stores" and farming poor soil while his "people" owned slaves (239).
