A Rose For Emily

I found this story to be quite sad, yet very interesting. The story starts with death and ends with death. I feel that Emily was a very sheltered person growing up. Emily's father I beleive was very controlling over her, and when he passed she did not know what to do in life. When Emily finally found Homer, she was going to hold on for dear life. Emily needed someone to help give her direction. She was unable to function in society on her own. I feel that Emily did to Homer what she did out of fear of losing him and having to be alone.
