Description: 

Jefferson's hardware store appears in five other texts. In Faulkner's first two novels it is owned by Watts and then by Earl. In the short story "Fool about a Horse" and Faulkner's last three novels, which includes this one, it belongs to Isaac McCaslin, who in Go Down, Moses is identified instead as a carpenter. Here Boon shoots at Ludus in front of "Isaac McCaslin's hardware store" (14), missing him but wounding a Negro girl and "shattering" the store window. Ike lives "in a single room over his hardware store" (55).
