A Rose for Emily

In the story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner I believe the narrator was an outsider who was viewing the whole event. I believe this because they don't know what is going completely right away. The development is slow because it goes step by step. I believe Emily killed Homer because he was gay. She was afraid if she didn't she would lose the love of her life. Even though she knows he might not love her that way back she would rather have it that way instead of without Homer completely. So I believe that is why Emily killed Homer so she'd never have to lose him and also to keep him close.
