“Serial killers are human black holes; they scare us because they mirror us,” spoke Shirley Lynn Scott, known author and psychologist. This stands true throughout history, as most serial killers blend in with society. Serial killing is formally defined by the FBI as “a series of three or more killings, having common characteristics such as to suggest the reasonable possibility that the crimes were committed by the same actor or actors.” But what exactly drives someone to kill another human being? What plays as a more drastic motivator for their actions, nature or nurture?

There are three principal sources of interest in narratives: suspense, mystery, and irony. In the narratives “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner and “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Ronald Dahl, irony is a primary source of interest. Irony is defined as a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result. In both of these cases, the use of irony by the authors greatens the impact the pieces have on their audience. In both “A Rose for Emily” and “Lamb to the Slaughter”, the authors have numerous pieces of irony throughout their respective stories; this use of irony creates a better reading experience for the reader.

There are similarities and differences in the short stories “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner and “Desiree’s Baby” by Kate Chopin. In the two short stories “A Rose for Emily” and “Desiree’s Baby” the reoccurring theme is love and tradition.

Killings and A Rose for Emily were both stories that used love as an excuse for violence. In A Rose for Emily, she killed a man because she loved him and didn’t want to lose him. Matt, in Killings, killed his son’s murder; Matt’s wife had to face her son’s murder daily. Matt decided he loved his wife enough to kill that man.

In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” written by Richard Connell the story is mainly about richard finding out that general zaroff hunt humans. At first richard finds hunting humans a problem because he considers it murder but then close to the end rainsford wants to turn the tables and hunt General Zaroff because he has found the fun in hunting humans. This paper is being written because their was a difference in the characters in the movie and the book and this paper is going to explain those differences. For instance in the book you can tell that General Zaroff and Rainsford were way more passionate about hunting. The book even goes as far to say that Rainsford loved hunting like a sport and that all he did was hunt , but in the movie He is too worried about Eve to focus on the true issue at hand. The characters have a difference in the way the act when comparing the book and the movie. This side of the argument can be proven because there were things in the story that didn't even happen in the book. For instance in the movie there were two people that never appeared in the book. One was a female named Eva and the other was a man and nobody even knew his name. On the other hand in the book there was only the main characters , General Zaroff , Rainsford , Ivan , and Whitney. Another statement that will prove my point is that in the book Rainsford was playing the role of the fox when General Zaroff was hunting him which

Emily” by William Faulkner highlights the issue of revenge and showcases the outcomes of mental illness. In these stories, the main characters, Montresor and Emily, both suffer from mental illness, which causes them later on in the story to lose their sense of humanity and commit murder. Both Montresor and Emily believe that they have been wronged, and thus seek revenge on the ones who have wronged them by murdering them. Not only do they both commit murder, but also they do so by committing it through inhumane methods. Montresor murders his rival by burying him alive, and Emily by poisoning and preserving her boyfriend's dead body. Both stories “The Cask of Amontillado” and “A Rose for Emily” illustrate two mentally unstable characters who lose their sanity and commit murder, revealing how the actions of people in the upper class, which were unchecked because of their social status, result in the commission of reprehensible actions.

The story “A Rose for Emily” was written by William Faulkner. The other story I am using to compare and contrast with is “Killings” written by Andre Dubus.

While “Killings” is based on a man named Matt Fowler who commits a bad crime.

In William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily,” the reader enters the early 1900’s, following the life and death of Emily Grierson through the eyes of the townspeople. People in the town of Jefferson thought of Miss Emily as a tradition and a duty that was passed on from the older generation (323). The townspeople thought that she would not hurt a fly, but they had not known what she had done until after her death. The decayed body of Homer Barron was found in one of the upstairs bedrooms, with a strand of grayed hair beside him (327). First degree murder, as stated by the group Thomson Reuters, “is defined as an unlawful killing that is both willful and premeditated” (FindLaw). Emily Grierson is guilty of first degree murder because she willfully bought the arsenic, her abandonment issues caused the murder to be premeditated, and she confessed to the Baptist minister what she was going to do with Homer.

William Faulkner’s short story, A Rose for Emily, is a dark tale of a young girl damaged by her father that ended up leaving her with abandonment issues. Placed in the south in the 1930’s, the traditional old south was beginning to go under transition. It went from being traditionally based on agriculture and slavery to gradually moving into industrial and abolition. Most families went smoothly into the transition and others, like the Griersons, did not. Keeping with southern tradition, the Griersons thought of themselves as much higher class then the rest of their community. Emily’s father found no male suitable for his daughter and kept her single into her thirties. After her fathers death Miss Emily was swept off of
