Analysis of A Rose for Emily
|
|
|
... In "A Rose for Emily", Faulkner contrasted the past with the present era. The past was represented in Emily herself, in Colonel Sartoris, in the old Negro servant, and in the Board of Alderman who accepted the Colonels attitude toward Emily and rescinded her taxes. ... Miss Emily was referred to as a "fallen monument" in the story (Norton Anthology, 2044). ... The description of her house "lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps--an eyesore among eyesores" represented a juxtaposition of the past and present and was an emblematic presentation of Emily herself (Norton Anthology, 2044). ... A description of Emily in the following paragraph discloses her similarity to the house. ... In the picture of a young Emily with her father, she was frail and apparently hungering to participate in the life of the era. ... Just as Emily refused to acknowledge the death of her father, she now refused to recognize the death of Colonel Sartoris. ... If Homer had triumphed in seducing Emily and deserting her, Emily would have become susceptible to the towns pity, therefore becoming human. ... Emily held the second view as well, except that for her there was no bottleneck dividing her from the meadow of the past. ... In it, the living Emily and the dead Homer remained together as though not even death could separate them.
