The Unforgetable A Rose for Emily :: A Rose for Emily, William Faulkner

The Unforgetable A lift for Emily           In A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner, we see how past events achievement the main character send packing Emily, especially her mental state.  She seems to live in a sort of fantasy world where death has no satisfying meaning. Miss Emily refuses to accept or even recognize, the death of her father or that of Colonel Satoris.  She does not want to acknowledge the fact that the world around her was ever-changing therefore Miss Emily surrounds herself with death.  What Faulkner tries to state in this story is that you should not permit death overpower your life.  A person should try and let go of their beloved ones after they confound passed a itinerary.  He also tries to state is to eer expect the unexpected, like when Miss Emily killed Homer.         Faulkner chooses to use third person story in this particular story for a couple of reasons.  He tries to specify Emilys world to us as seen through the eyes of a muscular resident, so we can understand the town life as if we lived there.  This way we were able to understand how the people of Jefferson thought of her.  If the story would have been told in first person we would not have been able to relate to Miss Emily. The reason for that would be, if she would have been the narrator we would have understood the story in a hole different manner. Faulkner used third person annals and from that we were  able to find out many things about Miss Emilys past.   For shell the death of her father, the love she had for Homer, and how she felt the need for affection.  Those ideas she would have kept to herself, if she were to have told the story.         The language and dialogue that Faulkner provides Miss Emily with enables the readers to understand how she feels about the town.  She is not real pleased with the cha nges that have occurred therefore she lets everyone that she comes in contact with know how she views those peculiar(prenominal) changes.  For example when the new Mayor tells her that she owes taxes in Jefferson, she just keeps on insist that she does not owe any money.
