A Rose for Emily”, William Faulkner - 91-96, point of view is the narrative point of view the first person. We realize in this story that we the audience don’t know if it is a men or a women. We are able to tell the character when the narrator says “we” in certain points of the text.

Another sympathy the character shows it towards the town of Jefferson and feels the people of the town are unable to control their reactions. The stylistic element the narrator uses is talking about the climax throughout the whole story.

She moved from Colorado and she had 2 younger brothers and a younger sister as well. They seemed nice enough but there was something about Emily, who was my age, which seemed a bit off.

William Faulkner is a well-known author, whose writing belongs in the Realism era in the American Literary Canon. His writing was influence by his Southern upbringing, often setting his stories in the fictional Southern town, Yoknapatawpha County. “A Rose for Emily” was one of Faulkner’s first published pieces and displays many of the now signature characteristics of Faulkner’s writing. The short story provides commentary through the use of many symbols. In William Faulkner’s short story, “A Rose for Emily”, the author uses the townspeople as a representation of societal expectations and judgments, Emily and her house as symbols for the past, and Homer’s corpse as a physical representation of the fear of loneliness.

The single gray hair discovered on a second pillow on the bed where the rotting corpse of Homer Barron lay tells the reader that Miss Emily, above all else was desperately lonely.It was because of her loneliness that she could not let her dead father go to his grave without a three day wait."After her father's death, the ladies reminisce: ‘‘We remembered all the young men her father had driven away.…’’ (Faulkner).

In The Canterbury Tales, Allison and Emily are two similar characters, but they handle their situations in two different ways. They are totally different characters faced with similar conflicts. In a way, the depiction of Allison’s character is a response to Emily’s. Allison in “The Miller's Tale” is viewed as a player. She doesn't care who it is or if she's already married; she just wants love and attention from someone. Emily, conversely, in the “Miller's Tale” wants nothing more than to stay innocent and alone without a man forever. While Emily is a noblewoman and rich, Allison is a peasant. Emily and Allison are both the only important female characters of their story. The depiction of Allison is an answer to Emily’s.

Emily, a noblewoman, has money, and everything she would already want, but her last interest could be having a husband even though the society around her thinks otherwise.
