Some changes in life are inevitable, such as the aging process and death. Any day could be a person's last day walking or breathing, and for some, the idea of ​​letting go of someone who has been held for so long is tragic. It may even seem that the deceased person is still alive and everything is functioning normally or that it was all just a big dream. In “A Rose For Emily” by William Faulkner, the idea of ​​Emily Grierson abandoning the only man she has ever loved and cherished, in her father, leaves her torn. Seeking to fill the new wound in her heart, Emily sought desperate measures to ensure that the next man she loved would never leave her. As a child, Emily was unable to make friends or even play outside because her father held his family to a much higher standard. standard than other townspeople “The Griersons held themselves a little too high for what they really were” (Faulkner 36). Emily's father selfishly prevented Emily from living, loving, and freedom. She was unable to find a soul mate because her father thought “none of the young men were good enough for Miss Emily and others” (Faulkner 36). For this reason, Emily remained close to the only man she had ever known, like a newborn to her mother. Emily and her father had such a close bond that when he died, she refused for days to believe he was dead, and she also refused to let the locals dispose of the body. To the townspeople, Emily's reaction to her father's death was completely normal, but to the readers, it was our first glimpse of her necrophilia. After Emily's father died, the townspeople saw even less of her. The next time someone saw her, they reported: "When we saw her again, her hair was cut short, making her look like a girl, with a vague resemblance to those in the middle of the paper." ....uh. Upstairs in his bedroom lies Homer's decomposed body, wearing the remains of the suit she bought him many years ago. The indentation of a head on the pillowcase and the lock of gray hair next to the body give us the impression that Emily was lying there before she died. These clues give the reader a second and final clarification that Emily suffered from necrophilia. Although I do not agree with Miss Emily Grierson's behavior, I do not hold it against her. Hosted from reality all her life, I can expect her to do unusual things. I feel bad for Miss Emily because she was the center of attention in a modernized city where she still practiced her traditional values. Through the eyes of the townspeople, we get our view of Emily from a distance. If the story had been told from Emily's point of view, we could better understand her reasoning for her bizarre behavior..
