Jason's selfishness is apparent through the way that he bullys his family members. He will take anything from anyone regardless for who they are and what they have. The most apparent occurrence of this is when Jason scams Caddy into giving him money to see Quentin and then forbids her from actually seeing her. Jason is arrogant because he honestly thinks that he is the best and knows everything. He makes fun of literally everybody that comes into the chapter, looking down on them for everything that they do. He thinks he is the best around and everybody else is inferior. Jason has no sense of manors or respect for anyone, not even his mother. Which is why it still amazes me to see why he is her favorite. Jason is just plain rude because he will never have anything positive to say or think. He is overly focused on himself and his a huge narcissist. Nobody else in the world matters except for him, everybody else is doing somethjng wrong, especially women. We had an example last chapter of Quentin being the old south and disapproving of Caddy sleeping around, but he still had an incredible respect for women. But Jason, disapproves women doing anything for themselves which is represented through his treatment of Quentin, his mistress, Dilsey and his mother. But most of all, Jason is greedy. He will do whatever it takes get just a little bit of money, except work for it. E steals from numerous people with no remorse.
I really liked how you said that Jason's greed leads him to do anything for money - except work, and that he feels no remorse for his actions. You really showed the extent of Jason's horrible personality.
ReplyDeleteI like how you started off this post by stating how Jason's mother thinks he's such a blessing. I think this correlates to how Jason acts towards others throughout the chapter. Since he has his mothers blessing, he knows that he can do prctically whatever and not see any consequences from her. Good job!
