"A Rose for Emily"

When I read "A Rose for Emily" my first impression was Emily appeared lonely and depressed.Why would anyone allow their house to be dark and dusty. "Blinds opened from one window"by the Negro. "dust on the thighs of the alderman" after sitting on the cracked leather furniture.
Emily showed total disregard to her surrondings. It was her butler who took care of her.
"The Negro man went in and out wiht the market basket, but the front dooor remained closed.
After classroom group discussion I came to the realization that Emily was lonely. "After her father's death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away,people hardly saw her at all.
Questions that arised during discussion, where is Emily's family? With her father being dead
who else could there be. "Emily had some kin in Alabama:but years ago her father had a fallen out with them over the estate and there was no communication between the two families."
Emily had a beau once, but he left Emily. It came to be around the same time as her father's death. Poor Emily no one in her life. So when Homer Barron fixed the streets by Emily's house.
Emily swarmed in on Homer, like a vulture to a dead carcus. Emilys' lonely no more.
At story's end, town people pried into the only room not on display during viewing the house. "In the bed lay a man. Next to the man a pillow with a indentation to which a long strand of grey hair was found."
