A Rose For Emily Analysis

"A Rose for Emily," the short story by William Faulkner. When Miss Emily died the town reacts to her death with some awe, like it’s really sad to see that she has passed away. They were amazed to go see what the house looks like, because they haven't been in there for so long In section one, I learned that Miss Emily has died, and the town's relationship to her, and in fact, the narrator just says, "we" all the time. We saw Miss Emily do this, we heard that this happened. The town tells the story of what they saw. We never get to see Miss Emily talking to herself, we're not inside of her head, and we’re not inside of her heart. We don't know what she's thinking of. We're just observing from the outside. Also in section one we have this line:

The same way she defeat their fathers thirty years before about the smell.

None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such. And in fact we see that her father drove away would be boyfriends with a whip. So he was so protective of his daughter that no one ever got near her, and really her father cut off any hope of her having a future with a husband. Her father is too controlling, perhaps, to let her go. And maybe Emily herself is pretty controlling, because look how she treated people about the taxes, and the smell also. People are a bit afraid of her. The next thing that happens in the section two, is that we find out that when her father died, Miss Emily refused to believe it. So again she's staying in her own reality, her own version of things. Faulkner says, the day after his death all the ladies prepared to visit the house and offer condolence and aid, but Miss Emily met them at the door dressed as usual, with no trace of grief on her face. She told them that her father was not dead. She did that for three days, so it took her a while to accept the fact that he had actually died, and it made sense too, because this is
