He is the former mayor of the fictional town of Jefferson, Mississippi, and is known for his benevolence towards Emily Grierson, the story's protagonist. Sartoris creates a sense of obligation to protect Emily after her father's death, which reflects the themes of tradition and social change in the American South. His actions illustrate the complexities of duty and compassion within the context of Southern society.

This act also reflected the town's desire to protect her during a time of social change and economic decline. Ultimately, it illustrated the complex relationship between tradition and modernity in the South.
