Symbolism In A Rose For Emily

While explanting a story or other things it is better to use symbols to make it easier to understand and to draw a picture in your mind. For example in a short story that I had read was called A Rose for Emily and Emily’s house for a symbol of her being isolated basically all her life. Other instances of symbolism include how Emily represented the “Old South” that was slowly dying and making way for the newer, industrialized south that was on its way in. all symbols represent something like drake the rapper his symbol is an owl, and god represents love.
