Love can make people do things they would never think to do. It can take you places you've never been and it can cloud the judgement of the most rational mind. In "A Rose for Emily", Miss Emily was a solitude woman who lived a sad tragic life. She really did not have anyone to confide in except for her father. After he passed, she met Homer who became her boyfriend. After a few years and no longer seeing Homer, the towns people had thought he deserted her but in the end I found out she killed him.
What I do not quite understand is the feeling of solitude that Miss Emily had to of had to cause her to harm the one thing in her life that obviously gave her joy. She experienced fear with just the thought of losing him. Enough so, she felt the need to have to kill him in order to keep him. She was so consumed in herself and her own world she didn't seem to have enough faith in Homer and his committment to her. What she didn't seem to realize is that she actually lost him when she killed him. I am also curious to know if the servant knew he was up there the whole time.
