Chapter 7

Supten chases after French architect after he tries to escape. While doing this....

During this time Sutpen gives some of his own backstory

This is told to Compson

told to Quentin

reconveyed to Shreve

Supten was born in a log cabin in modern day West Virginia

drunken father

who takes the family to a plantation in Virginia where he learns the difference between men who own things and those who dont

he ran away from home at 14 and by 20 was the overseer of a plantation in the Caribbean

after putting down a slave revolt he finds himself engaged to the owners daughter, who has his son Charles Bon

after finding out she was part negro he left them and took 20 slaves and fleed to Jefferson

After having his break wit Henry he tries to break up the marriage between Judith and Bon, Henry in his jealousy proceeded to kill Bon

When Supten returns home he finds his family in shambles and his plantation unfixable so he starts to sleep with Milly who is Wash jones 15 yr. old grand daughter

Jones was fine with this even when Supten got her pregnant but when he insults Milly...

Jones cuts him down with a scythe

Before the search party can take in Jones he commits suicide using a butchers knife

Chapter 8

Quentin and Shreve go to bed and begin to imagine what Bon’s life must have been like throughout this story

they imagine his mother is bitter and has told Bon the story of his deserting father many times

they imagine Bon and his mother recieved a lot of money through a lawyer and that Bon wastes it on women, gambling horses, clothes, and alcohol

They picture Bon's mother finding out about his octoroon wife and his son and accepting it

They also envision Bon's mother wanting to hide his father's identity from him

Quentin and Shreve continue to create situation that must have actually happened such as Henry meeting Bon and Bon visiting Sutpen’s Hundred

They even recount Sutpen revealing to Henry that Bon is his brother.

Their speculations become so specific they even imagine Bon saving Henry in battle

According to their story Bon comes to believe that the incest of his marrying Judith doesn’t bother Henry as much as Bon’s being part black does

When they are done with their tale of Bon’s perspective Shreve recounts Quentin’s visit of Sutpen’s Hundred.

They determine that Bon knew Henry was going to kill him so he left a picture of his octoroon “wife” and son in his pocket where he normally kept Judith’s picture in order to inform her of his unfaithfulness

After coming to this conclusion Quentin and Shreve go to sleep

Chapter 9

Quentin was thinking about the night in September 1909

midnight when he arrives at the house he manages to sneak into the window

Clytie makes a grab at her, but Rosa slaps her away

they find Henry in the house who came home to die

three months later they call the ambulance to save Henry

After seeing the ambulance Clytie burned down the house leaving only Jim Bond alive

Shreve asks Quentin one final question: "Why do you hate the South?" Immediately, defensively, Quentin replies "I don't hate it," then thinks to himself over and over: "I don't! I don't hate it! I don't hate it!"
