?A Rose for Emily? by William Faulkner tells the trading floor of an unconventional old maid flower ; Emily Grierson and her eccentric relationships with her father, lover, and the town of Jefferson.
The story is told by an unknown teller who is clearly a town resident (?when Miss Emily died, our hearty town went to her funeral..?), and the story unfurls in a non-chronological order. We are wedded the ending first, we know Miss Emily Grierson is already dead when the story begins, but we also know the story is about her. I believe this technique is used to create empathy for the character of Emily because you simply see her through the eyes of the people of Jefferson, who would often bubble about her behind her back; but she?s referred to as ?poor Emily?.
The order of the story is also used to give up tension and suspense; the story starts and Emily is already dead, she may have been murdered of committed suicide? We read on; and this is not the case. The story gives you small indications of what?s coming in the end, for example you know she?s possibly mad or mentally disturbed when you read; ?she did that for three days, with the ministers calling on her, and the doctors, trying to persuade her to let them dispose of the body.
just as they were about to resort to law and force, she broke down, and they buried her father.? in like manner the passage in the story where she buys Arsenic but pull up stakes not tell the druggist what it?s for, but she states that she wants ?the scoop? they have.
I wondered why the William Faulkner chose the name Emily, I thought there had to be more to it, it couldn?t just be a random name he pulled out...
