Comparative between characters
The story I chose to write about is A Rose for Emily, because in his essay William Faulkner describe the society of the old south of a community of the small town Jefferson in Mississippi through the story of a young lady named Emily. In his story A Rose for Emily, Faulkner shows how the community reaction toward an individual could cause disaster. A Rose for Emily is the story of a young lady living in a very conservative society after the death of her father. Emily's; life is marked by an excessive negative influence of her father during her young age. While her father was alive Emily was not allowed to have any friend. And after the death of her father she is left alone by the community in her big house without any support. So when she met and fall in love with a young man named Hommer, she did give any considerations to all the critics made by the community about her relationship with Hommer. She kept seeing him even so they think that it is sinful relationship. When Hommer disappears the community seems in on hand happy of the end of that sinful relationship and in the other sad for seeing Emily alone again. Emily after that kept herself away from the community and stayed in her big house closing her door to every body.
As I put a female gender for the narrator of the story it is now comprehensible for me the importance give to the smell of Emily's house and also between many other, the feeling of sadness and powerless showed by the narrator in regard the behavior of Emily's personage trough the story. Further more make me see some side of it I did not see at the first place. I agree with this position in a way that all troughs the story Emily is presented like an innocent young woman who has not enjoy all the possibility life could give her. Davis in his interpretation of the story put the emphasis on the use of different adjectives to give the readers to make the choice of with one is appropriate for Emily's character. " So for Davis, Faulkner did not want to give the reader a character with a personality already set by him but let them make their opinion about it with the information available in the story. All troughs the story the narrator emphasis the value of the southern woman. In his essays titled "of Faulkner's Narrator in `ARose for Emily'," Michael L. The reading of this essay confirms all the theories I made about Emily's personage. As curry says: " A Rose for Emily assert that gender often control the eyes of a story but it does not necessarily control the behavior of a characters when he or she remains out of sight. " The choice of a woman narrator as advocated by Burduck give a better and easier understanding of the story "A Rose For Emily". Like Davis says: "As a woman offended by Emily's actions, theSpeaker relates this tale of necrophilia in an attempt to vindicate Southern womanhood. Second, they resent Emily's seeing a Yankee man.
