Summary:
Mr. Compson interrupts his narrative of Rosa's actions to create a misogynistic profile of "a Southern lady" (68). Although he seems to assert that Rosa's actions will confirm his generalization, in fact - as the next paragraph acknowledges - Rosa doesn't do what "she would have been expected to" (68).
