In the story Old Mrs. Harris, Victoria Templeton, the mother of a family in a small Colorado town who is originally from the South, takes on a vastly different role than what is expected of a traditional mother at that time. Mothers were expected to stay at home and tend to their children. In the beginning of the story, Mrs. Rosen, her neighbor originally from the East, is critical of Victoria for not taking care of her children and being involved with them. This gives the impression that Victoria is not a good mother. Mrs. Rosen is used by the author to characterize Victoria as a selfish mother. Because she is the only voice that assesses Victoria, the readers subconsciously take on her opinion as their own and think of Victoria as a selfish, bad mother who does not care about her children. Mrs. Rosen also expects that Mrs. Harris, Victoria’s mother, would be cared for instead of her taking care of Victoria’s children and performing the domestic duties.

In keeping with the idea that humans are flawed beings, a tragic hero is often described as an individual with immense potential who meets a horrific end due to flaws within themselves, and the main character in Faulkner’s short story undeniably meets these criteria. In William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily,” Miss Emily Grierson suffers an unfortunate fate due to her lack of willingness to evolve as the times changed, her intense need to keep up appearances, and her withdrawal from society which leads readers to accept her as a tragic hero.
