A Rose For Emily

The story starts out with Emily’s funeral and then it goes back to talk about Emily’s life and events that took place up to her time of death.
The narrator of the story are the townspeople, they talked about how the “whole town went to her funeral” (206) and other parts of the story the narrator uses the word we when telling the story.
Emily buys arsenic and poisons Homer. Emily felt alone most of her life, losing her father was hard on her. After her father died I think Emily felt she was truly alone. She was a very lonely person. When Emily starts dating Homer, I think she was scared that he would leave her; he had said “that he was not a marrying man” (210). I feel that Emily was so scared of being alone that she killed him so he would never leave her. She kept him in the upstairs bedroom and even slept in the same bed while he was decaying away. The story kept you interested leading up to the events that happened in the story.
