her own family. Though Dilsey’s position in society is regarded as a lowly one, she is presented as being in possession of more perspective and sanity than the majority of other characters in the novel. The fourth section of The Sound and the Fury is told from an omniscient perspective, but it is Dilsey’s persona that seems to provide its overarching narrative. She maintains a mask in front of her employers, and so is depicted throughout the novel as a pillar of strength and steely resolve.

Foreshadowing in William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily William Faulkner paints a tragic tale about the inevitability of change and the futility of attempting to stop it in "A Rose for Emily". This story is about a lonely upper-class woman struggling with life and traditions in the Old South. Besides effective uses of literary techniques, such as symbolism and a first plural-person narrative style, Faulkner succeeds in creating a suspenseful and mysterious story by the use of foreshadowing, which
