a rose for emily

I really liked the morbidity of this story. It paints this eloborate story of n old lonely slightly crazed woman who never leaves her home. fFrom the beginning you get this werid feeling about her, from the first initial conversation were she is denying to pay her taxes to the officers to to the conversation with the "druggist", you can tell that the story is leading you to a strange place involving her. I like how the town people broke into her house to spill that stuff so her house would'nt smell. I didn't get that part until we had the group discussin in class. I made sense after that beacuse you find out she has a rotting corpse preserved slighty in her bedroom. I know it sounds gross but i can completey could relate to that, to emily keeping and husband, her rose, in her house for so long. After she lost her father and was left alone for so long, not having anyone to relate to. no one to understand her just having yourself and no one else you get sad and isolated. I think thats how she felt until she met Homer. Homer gave her life and companionship. After he died she probably snapped and some how in her head justified keeping there even thou he was dead. Its actually really a sad story, plus the fact that it takes place in the south while it was devolping gives it a real dirty dark feeling. Anything to do with the south usually involves some type of darkness just beacuse the south wasn't a very good place throughtout history and even up untill the present.
