Biography:
Mr. Compson creates this 'character' when he interrupts his reconstruction of Sutpen and Ellen's wedding to generalize about women who never had formal weddings: "women who were married by tobacco-chewing j[ustices of the] p[eace]s in country courthouses or by ministers waked after midnight" (37). According to his misogynistic assertion, it is the longing of these women for a more ceremonial wedding that is the cause of "most divorces" (37).
