My personal reaction to Faulkners' "Rose for Emily" is that emily was diconnected from the town. Her father locked her out of the town because of his too good for anyone ways. She really couldnt be herself or even experience life due to is controlling ways. I also felt the town was very nosy. There were to caught up of wanting to know what was going on in there home. I understand the curiosity but they took it a little far but intruding in there space. There were a lot of sterotypes in it in that connect us to this day. Looks can be very deceiving and I feel the town had some type of sense to knowing how the deaths took place but covered it up because of her appearance.
Literary element/thematic analysis: Faulkner uses irony in the story. The father kept her so hidden from others all she knew was her father. When she decided to give her heart to Homer Barons he misused it and it took her to a place that she never wanted to feel again.
Question: Do you feel love can become lethal today?
