A Rose For Emily
I really thought this story was interesting because I liked the weird and surprising ending. I thought the smell of the house was from it getting old and she was an old woman and didn't get around to cleaning it up much. I kind of felt bad for Miss Emily and how she was lonely because of the way she was raised. I guess having been under such tight restrictions with her father, she never had the chance to experience a variety of emotions and adventures a young girl, teenager, or woman could experience in a lifetime. This, I believe, just turned her into a bitter old woman. It's a shame she couldn't marry Homer, because if they did get marry, maybe her life would turn around and she could be happy. I know she loved him, but her killing him and keeping his corpse in her room on a bed with wedding stuff is super creepy. I know, Love is Love, but I guess she really loved him there. It's weird how the Negro didn't say anything, I mean, he must have known about it, but then again, what could he do? I really wish I could find out the perspective of the Negro, because then it will give us an insight, being a close party of Miss Emily, and we could find out more information about her interesting life.
Yes, maybe he respected her and was loyal to her, that's why he didn't talk to the outsiders even when she was still alive. Maybe he was like a part of the family.
