Jason

Jason is very different from all the other characters in this book. He does not seem to have a care in this world, but not in the good way. He only cares for money and does not care for the people around him that truly love him. His obsession with money can be seen when Jason takes money that was meant to be given to Quentin. 

Money is all that Jason can think about. He buys the gloves that his uncle Maury bought. This shows how material oriented he is because he bought these particular gloves at a funeral. He is also heartless. He even takes money from Quentin multiple times. Jason often tries to pay people off, like he paid off a mistress to stop writing to him. Jason is one of the few in the family who could really help out with all the money he has. He often neglects those around him and never gives money to the people who need it the most. 

Jason is very stressed throughout this chapter. All these problems come from money, his stocks, etc. If he were to focus on his family and less on his money, he would see a lot of his stresses go away.
