A Rose for Emily Unit 2 Blog

In the story A Rose for Emily, written by William Faulkner, i believe the narrator would be the towns people. For example "our whole town went to the funeral" 206. I seems that maybe after her death, everyone had their story to tell and this is how it was all compiled. On page 208, "When we saw her again her hair was cut short", this makes me feel that it was many people telling what they knew or more or less their story. Emily has been kept from relationships due to her father feeling that none of them were quite good enough 208, so Emily made sure due to the emptiness she felt after her fathers death, that Homer would never leave her. She went and purchased arsenic 209, and people thought it was to kill herself 210, but it was intended for something else. After Emily's passing, when Emily's cousins arrived 211, it unfolds to me that Emily gave the arsenic to Homer to keep him with her forever.
