A Rose for Emily... CREEPY :O
In the short story, "A Rose for Emily," she is raised by an overprotective and rich father in which she never got the affection of another man. The story is scattered in revealing details of symbolism such as the stench of her house and Emily buying arsenic from the pharmacy, in which she does not say what she is going to use it for. She killed Homer Baron who sis not want to marry her but was with her and hid his body in her house. The fact that she killed him goes back to one of the themes of the story which was the fact that her father never let her be loved by another man. By keeping the body in her house she finally got to keep a man to love and have as her own.

Yea, I think that keeping the body meant that she was a lonely women who wanted love.
ReplyDeleteShe was terrified that no one loved her so she wanted to keep homer for herself. that was real creepy
ReplyDeleteI like the way you were able to understand the reasons for killing Homer Barron. I agree with you that Emily was a lonely woman that only wanted the love of a man, but she could not have that love because of her father's fault. I also think that the smell was a symbol of death because we were able to conclude that something was dead and we were also able to conclude that it could have been Homer.
ReplyDeletei never took this story and though about it lke this. I was confused on why sh was being such a creep, but i like the way you put it together. You made me think that it all makes sense now, Emily was the way she was because of the way her father loved her. So just like her father did her she treated Homer barron the same way. Sara you're so smart. lol
