Lack Of Socialization?

In the story, "A Rose for Emily", it is difficult to tell if Miss Emily Grierson is a victim of chivalry, formal manners, and tradition because she did not do a lot of talking to other people. She did not fully show weather she had all these characteristics, but from some of the context it seems like she did not. When Miss Emily was arguing with the Mayor of Jefferson, she was fairly rude about it. Someone with formal manners would have just gave in and paid the taxes that they owed. She was rude to the druggist when he tried to offer a different poison and she did not answer when he told her that they are required to find out what it will be used for. Although Miss Emily did not have formal memories, she kept to the traditions. She refused to pay the taxes because her taxes were remitted some time before, so she thought it should stay that way. If Miss Emily had been more social than she was, it would have showed that she had all these qualities. Miss Emily probably wasn't trying to be rude, she just did not have the social experience that the other people of that time had.
