Emily's Tendency To Rush Case Study

"A Rose for Emily" is a fictional short story written by 1949 Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner. Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" is about an aristocratic woman who lived a very secretive and unusual life. Miss Emily had always been very sheltered by her father. He was the only man in her life and after his death, her behavior became even more unnatural. However her father's death cannot be seen as the only cause of Miss Emily's insanity. Miss Emily's behavior was also influenced by her own expectations of herself, the townspeople's lack of authority over her, and her neighbor's infatuation with her.

In William Faulkner's A Rose For Emily there is more than enough evidence to determine that Miss Emily is mentally ill. Most of the clues and hints are subtle, but when they are all pieced together the puzzle becomes clear. Not saying it is clear as too what Miss Emily was suffering from, the only way to know that for certain would be if the author or narrator told us in the text. We can conclude, however, she was suffering from some form of mental illness. Miss Emily was seen as a recluse and odd, but what no one in the town knew was that she couldn't help it there was more going on with her then people could see.

The art therapy session is held every Tuesday at a small space in the gym. When the intern picked her up from her class, she did not look the intern and walked fast to the art therapy room. At the room, she stated that she had a “worst day at everywhere.” The intern checked in with her, but she did not share in detail. A sample of a doll and art materials were provided. Cindy asked the intern if she can take it to home, and the intern reminded her the rules. She did not respond and began to make the doll without words. Cindy appeared to be unmotivated to do art but followed the direction. In the process, Cindy required an assistance of the intern because of her clumsy hand movement.

The author’s third main character, Homer Barron, really shows us just how far Miss Emily has spiraled out of control. When the neighbors first get wind of Miss Emily dating Homer, a northerner, they are happy for her saying, "[a]t first we were glad that Miss Emily would have an interest...but there were still others, older people who said that even grief could not cause a real lady to forget noblesse oblige--without calling it noblesse oblige" (208). Some of the neighbors could not believe that a woman of Miss Emily's class would date someone beneath her, but many were just glad that her luck was turning around. Soon Miss Emily’s neighbors start to notice her seriousness with Homer saying, “[w]e learned that Miss Emily had been to the jeweler’s

Throughout academia, textbooks are commonly utilized by teachers to convey new information to students of all ages. Textbooks, therefore, have a profound impact on what individuals believe to be true as they mature from childhood into adulthood. Emily Martin, a prominent anthropologist at New York University in Manhattan, believes that the content in some of these textbooks is problematic as they perpetuate stereotypical gender roles that still exist in society today. Specifically, in her article The Egg and the Sperm: How Science Has Constructed a Romance Based on Stereotypical Male-Female Roles (1991), Martin discusses at length the portrayal of egg and sperm cells during the reproductive process by various textbooks. According to Martin,

The story “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner would be drastically different if it was written from the point of view of Miss Emily. Her intentions and thoughts would be more pronounced, and because of this, the ending of the story may not come as such a shock. In addition, Miss Emily would be less distanced from the audience, and they would be able to understand her character in a way that the townspeople could not.

William Faulkner’s short story, “A Rose for Emily,” was written after the civil war and is often considered a piece of Southern Gothic literature (Davis). Southern Gothic is a subgenre of the gothic culture, which typically relies on the use of supernatural, unusual, and ironic events to drive the plot, all of which can be seen as a driving force throughout the story development of Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” (Davis). Through Faulkner’s ingenious short story, “A Rose for Emily,” he demonstrates the powerful yet internal conflict that comes with change, and the tension it creates between the realms of the past and the future. Upon further analysis, we come to see the story as a representation of the fallen south coupled with societal commentary and a depiction of the characters as spirits from the past stuck in a present time they struggle to come to peaceful terms with. We can see the powerful message Faulkner creates illustrated throughout his use of symbolism, his protagonist Emily, the community that surrounds her, and the incongruent timeline of events he depicts throughout the telling of his story.
