A Rose For Emily
This story intrigued me on the values and depictions of a woman hitting one brick wall after another. After the death Mrs. Roses soon to be husband she descends into this almost coma like being of a person. Foul smells from her home, staring out the window at night, completely away from civilization. Its maddening to think what she must be going through and gives the characters of the story a somber feeling of pity upon poor Miss Rose. She then begins to lose her mind, seeing her father again, her will as she becomes very ill, and her appearance as she cuts her hair and gains a ghostly complexion. The line "Poor Emily" is used throughout the story as an almost blatantly stated pity from the town too Miss Rose. As she died out slowly, lengthily, and painfully. like watching a beautiful rose slowly dry out from lack of water and sunshine.
