Five months later, when he goes to Harvard, he reinvents the story with his roommate, Shreve. Compson, who tells the story from a different perspective. That same night, Quentin goes over the story again with his father, Mr. Miss Rosa has summoned him to listen to her version of the legend of Thomas Sutpen. In September 1909, 20-year-old Quentin Compson goes to visit Rosa Coldfield, an older woman in his hometown of Jefferson, Mississippi.
