Post 4: A Rose for Emily Plot
A Rose for Emily is not your traditional story telling style. It begins with the death of the protagonist and ends with the plot of the story, which happens to be the murder of her fiance. The story is told chronologically, first by stating about her death and the way she was viewed, " a fallen monument". Ms. Emily stood for all things expected from a "Southern Belle".
An online analysis by Christopher Booker on Smoop.com suggested that every event explained what may have led her to commit murder despite her respected position. Her family was rich and respected raising her in an air of eccentricity. Her father rejected all her suiters which left her a spinster at the age of 30. Of course she became hopeful when she met this charming strapping man, even though he was a Yankee. Had she been more sociable she may have realized his attention meant nothing more than friendship.
Who could actually blame her for snapping? At least she got her man!
