A Rose for Emily

The short story, A Rose for Emily was written by William Faulkner in 1930.
In my opinion, the narrators of the story is the town's citizens. Throughout the whole story, the narrator speaks as if they were more then just one person. "Our whole town went to her funeral" Faulkner (pg 206). The narrator also went on to speak in terms of "We" not "I". This effects the order of which the story is told in because the town is gossiping. Everyone is hearing the different details of how Emily's life was told. Every time someone passes the details on about Emily's poor, tragic life, it changes a little bit.
I also believe that because the town is narrating the story the this will greatly effect the tone of the short story. I believe this because every person will have a different opinion or feeling towards Emily. Some my feel bad for her and some may not even care. But I believe that the whole town did pity Emily. As it mentions, "Poor Emily" Faulkner (pg 209). This is showing that they feel sorry for the way that she is living her life.
Emily poisoned her own husband. I believe she did this because she was scarred from losing her father so early in life. Now that she had found love again, she never wanted to loose it. She didn't want to ever be alone again. So she poisoned him and kept him in her bed. Her own grey hair was on the pillow and an indent that matched her head was on the pillow next to his.
