The papers have written so much about lovers who killed one another. People kill their lovers for such a number of reasons: their lovers cheat them, their lovers have another man/woman and so fourth. Killing is already a terrible thing. Yet, when the murderer and the victim are lovers, the action of killing is often more violent and frightening. Only after Emily died, the townspeople discovered a horrible fact that she had killed her sweetheart – Homer Barron. It was frightening as well as surprising to her neighborhood because they used to think that Emily and Homer would get married. I was at first surprised by her murder too, but later I understood why she did so. When Emily was young - when she experienced the most wonderful time in a woman's life, she like any other woman hoped for an interesting boyfriend, a real love, and then a happy family. However successful a woman was, a good husband – a family was always ...Xem tiếp »

In William Faulkner's 1930 short story "A Rose for Emily," the protagonist, Miss Emily Grierson is a desperately lonely woman. Miss Emily finds herself completely isolated from other people her entire life, yet somehow she manages to continue on with her head holds high. What makes her life become a series of sadness and solitude? It is not herself but, in my viewpoint, the four men including her father, the mayor, the Negro, and Homer Barron that are to blame. They play an important role in Emily's life in terms of her separation. While the mayor and the Negro man keep Emily from dealing with social life through duty and activity, her father and Homer Barron dispossess her of loving and being loved. These are the two aspects I would like to bring into discussion. The first aspect to be mentioned is the role of the mayor and the Negro man over Emily's life. About the mayor, he remitted her taxes for she is of noble descent. ...Xem tiếp »

The victory of the American Civil War ends glory days of the South. Many southern people refused to accept the changed situation and had kept cherishing their precious memories. They showed a strong attachment to old values and traditions of the faded past. Miss Emily, who is the main character in the story “A Rose for Emily”, is typical of those Southerners. Throughout the story, the word “rose” rarely appears, but trying to interpret it helps readers have a deep understanding about the story. “A Rose for Emily” is Faulkner's white rose to Emily, his way of expressing condolences to Emily's death. He sympathizes with her loneliness and her imagination about her status. People in the town respect her but they are one of the main reasons that make her have too good opinion of herself. They do not dare to force her to pay taxes, they do not dare to question her when she buys poison, they are more embarrassed of making remarks about the smell and ...Xem tiếp »

Rose, Forever a Symbol of Love William Faulkner was known as a prolific writer of short stories. His first short story collection “These 13” (1932) includes many of his most acclaimed and most frequently anthologized stories, and also “A Rose for Emily”. "A Rose for Emily" recounts the story of an eccentric spinster, Emily Grierson with the strange circumstances of her life and her odd relationships with her father, and her lover. After her death, townspeople discovered that Emily killed her lover and slept with his corpse through years. Although readers can not find out any rose in this story, it was still named “A rose for Emily”. In my opinion, “a rose” stands for the love between Emily and her father, and her lover Homer Barron, and her Negro servant Tobe. First of all, “a rose” is used as a symbol of the love between Emily and her father. Emily’s father ...Xem tiếp »
