Biography:
Introduced late in the novel as "a new Snopes living in Jefferson" (354), Res Snopes is kin to Flem Snopes, though the exact relationship is never made clear. Flem establishes him in the converted carriage house on the Compson place, which Flem now owns, where the hog farm Res operates becomes a source of increasingly violent friction with his neighbor.
