Jason Chapter: April 6, 1928

Reading sentences with punctuation has been so much fun I decided do this whole post after I finished reading the chapter. My biggest issue after reading is about Benjy. Quentin's chapter focused all on one event, his suicide, which I assumed took place on the day the chapter was titled. After reading Jason's chapter I assumed that Benjy's castration took place on April 7, 1928, the title of the first chapter. But then I glanced at Jason's date, and turns out we just read about April 6, 1928, one day before Benjy's chapter. But Jason already refers to Benjy as, "...the Great American Gelding" (pg 164). This tells us two things. First, Jason thinks of his brother as worse than a horse, and second, the incident has already happened. So here's my question: If the incident has already happened by the time Benjy narrates his chapter, why don't we hear about it at all from Benjy? An event like that is not something anybody would forget, least of all Benjy.
My next big question is about Jason. Everyone agrees he is not likeable, not friendly, really bitter, racist, sexist, has a complete lack of respect for Benjy, and ready to take advantage of whoever he can. I don't intend to be the devil's advocate, but I do think he has several very good reasons to be bitter. A good portion of what he had was spent to send his older brother to Harvard. He himself never got an education, he never had an opportunity to make something of himself the way Quentin did. Now he's stuck as the breadwinner for his sister's child, his mother, who's burning most of the money that Jason doesn't steal (assuming I read that bit right) and who also spent Jason's inheritance on his older brother, his brother Benjy and the staff both of which Jason sees as subhuman. Quentin was the family line, he's gone, so is Benjy, leaving Caddy's illegitimate child and Jason. I don't know exactly what Faulkner was trying to communicate with all of this, but it does speak measures to what happens when people try and force an outcome that wasn't meant to be. It also does a lot to discredit societal expectations. If the family hadn't married Caddy off, Quentin would be alive and supporting the family, Benjy would not have hung around the gate and been castrated, and Jason would not be so bitter. Then, his inheritance would have at least had meaning. It's not hard to imagine Jason seeing burnt checks and Quentin's suicide as nearly identical acts. But instead, Caddy is now an outcast, Quentin is dead, and Jason, the last connection to the family line is ready to tear Caddy's child apart. And the only person in between the two of them is Mrs. Compson, the person who started the whole plot. I'm not sure I agreed with everything Sartre said about the story, but right now the story appears, like Sartre stated, "...an invasion of the past."
If I think of something really important or obvious, I'll make another note, but until then bye and thanks for reading.
