I didn't like Jason's chapter very much for the obvious reason that he is a horrible person, but also because I didn't like his writing style, and I found his discussions of the economy extremely boring.  I thought that this chapter would clear up some of the events of the past chapters, and it did help to find out what Caddy was doing.  But I felt that the rest of the chapter focused more on Jason's complaints about his job and his investments, which were not interesting to read about for me.

Jason's character is selfish, sexist, racist, dishonest, and cruel.  This is all supported at different points in the text, so I will talk about how each one can be proven with the text.  Jason's selfish behavior is shown by the amount of complaining that occurs in his chapter.  He continually talks about his problems, including his job, his investments, his Mother and family, and his town.  He never once considers what it must be like for any of the other characters.  He never thinks about how hard it is for Caddy to not see her child, and how hard it is for Dilsey to keep the family together.  Faulkner also shows how selfish he is by using the repeating phrase "I says" over and over in the book.  The repetition of this enforces his selfishness.  His actions in the book also support this because he steals money from Quentin, among other things.

He has many sexist and racist comments throughout the book.  His opening line of the chapter proves this, but also his treatment of Caddy when he says: "Just like a woman. Six days late.  Yet they try to make men believe that they're capable of conducting a business.  How long would a man that thought the first of the month came on the sixth last in business... Things like that never occur to a woman" (120).  This is just one of the many things he says that show his attitude towards women.  He thinks that business and home shouldn't mix, and that women should remain in the home because they are incapable of doing anything else.  His racism comes with his treatment of the household staff.  He complains several times in the book about feeding the staff, and how they never do enough work.  The language he uses to describe African Americans shows his racism.  He even threatens to hurt Dilsey, who is probably like 85 by the time his chapter comes around.

Jason's cruel behavior was most clear to me at two different points in his chapter: the time Caddy pays him to see her child, and the time he burns two tickets that he isn't going to use rather than giving them to Lester.  On both these occasions, Jason shows absolutely no sympathy for the people around him.  He is entirely absorbed by his own problems.
